No you have to reinstall/format windows every time you get a new motherboard.

 

[IIJeffreyII]

is there anyway to make a windows 7 instillation disk?

get windows, burn it on a dvd. start the installation process. format your drive and install a new copy of windows onto your hard drive, need detailed help?

 

[RipperRoo]

I don't fully understand your question but you can buy Windows at your local store, cheapest one would be Windows 7 Home which is about 100$.

Yes you can download it, just make sure you know your product key, you will need it to activate Windows 7, you can use Windows as a trial version if you don't remember your key. Download here http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Windows-7.shtml and burn it to a DVD.

No you don't. I just installed new mobo, cpu, gpu's ram , and psu. I used the same hd and windows booted and installed all new drivers.

 

[IIJeffreyII]

did u have to do anything to get it work like install drivers before boot or did it just work

 

[RipperRoo]

Just download, burn it and repair or format, you will eventually run into problems with drivers if you manage to boot it up without reinstalling.

Yeah not always required to reinstall but will have problems down the road.

just take that iso posted up there ^ and create a bootable USB drive just google Windows7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool

While its possible for Windows to adapt to your new hardware, it can't always.

Either download a torrented Windows 7 install, then use your own product key, or wait for your friend to give you the CD again.

The best way IS to format and re-install Windows, you'll have a lot less problems..

i have 3 disks one with the windows 7 home premium ISO on it one with the files from that ISO and a windows 7 repair disk created from another windows 7 PC the only one my pc will boot from is the windows 7 repair disk they are all made using the same type of disk so how do i get my pc to boot windows 7 installation

 

[dmanstasiu]

The Windows 7 ISO disk...your computer will identify it as a normal, regular Windows 7 OS DVD

Agreed, also it's best to unistall all the old drivers before you install the new MOBO. But with Windows 7 you don't need to format and reinstall.
