[SOLVED] Do I need to reinstall Windows when replacing my mobo?

[jhoff1801]

I have a build where everything was working fine except some screen flickering. That flickering turned into random green screens and we narrowed it down to a defective motherboard. ASRock is replacing it with the same model. Will I need to reinstall Windows if it is the same model of mobo?

Thanks!

Same model, it will probably work.

You'll probably have to call MS to get the license activated with the new motherboard.

Maybe not. There is supposed to be more than one usage allowed for W10 as long as you have a legit key. You'll have to enter it again at the installation. I've done it a couple times with no issues.
