New Mobo Fresh Windows Install

[doskido]

If I get a new motherboard, can I just run a system restore and wipe everything clean on my hard drive, or do I have to install Windows from the disk at bootup?

You need to do a fresh install of windows unless you bought the same exact motherboard you had.

Fresh install is the best option to avoid driver conflicts and if it's a different board ,more than likely won't boot.
