by all rights it is ok to reinstall windows if needed (corrupts from motherboard replacement/upgrade) as long as it is the same PC (in same case, with same psu, ram, gpu, etc) but if it's ok a different pc then it's not something you should do......

the safest thing would be to hold of until your new motherboard is here. if you windows 7 is corrupt you could just reinstall it.

oh and just wondering why you want to reinstall with/upgrade to win 8 ?
i use both windows 7 and windows 8 and overall i notice no difference between them instability or performance (thou the weather app in win 8 is pretty useful  :) )

Win 10 Pro 64bit| Intel i5-4670k| Corsair H100i| ASUS Maximus VI GENE| 2x8GB PC3-14900 Corsair Vengeance Pro Red| MSI GeForce GTX 1070 | SanDisk 240GB Extreme Pro SSD| WD 3TB Red | WD Black 3tb | Corsair Obsidian 350D| Corsair AX760 | Dust |
