Hey everyone. I am new here and this is my first post. I have a Vista Home Premium OEM DVD purchased online. I have this installed on my current system. I am RMA'ing my current motherboard to newegg and am trading it in for a better motherboard. From past experience, I know when I do this, windows will not boot and i will basically have to reformat my harddrive and do a fresh install of vista.

However, when i install vista, it will tell me the version of windows i am using is "already registered" to another pc - the one that is no longer in existance. All the components in my system are the same, except the motherboard. Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks
