Try it. Windows may be able to boot. If so, it will load default drivers for your different board. Then go to Device Manager and uninstall all the old drivers. They'll probably have yellow exclamation marks by them. Then install the correct drivers for your board from the MB's DVD or website. After all is working properly, run CCleaner and have it do the Clean and Registry portions both to get rid of all the Registry errors it will find. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Good luck to both of you when Windows does updates and see a different MB. OEM licenses are tied to the MB.
