ok, so recently the RAM slots in my emachines got damaged because i forced in some RAM the wrong way and it got stuck, i had to pull the RAM out with pliers and i ended up damaging the RAM slot

so, im replacing the motherboard with the EXACT SAME MOTHERBOARD, its not gonna be different, its the exact same, do i have to reinstall/re-activate windows 7 after i change out the motherboard?
