I've decided to upgrade my motherboard and processor of my hp compaq presario. It has an amd athlon 4450e 64x2 2.3ghz processor and i have no idea what the motherboard is. so i have a few questions. Also my windows 7 installation disc came from the hp upgrade free windows 7 upgrade thing. On the disc it says "for use only as an upgrade to a qualifying hp windows 7 upgrade option pc." I already upgraded and have windows 7 on my hard drive so yeah....
1. if i upgrade to this new motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131595will i be able to keep my windows 7 without reactivating and reinstalling, cause someone said that it would work if you had the same brand and i have amd processor so..?
2. if i cant get the motherboard option to work how do i find out if a phenom processor will work with my current hp motherboard?
*EDIT* i just looked at my catalyst control center and it said this:
System Type:X86-based PC
System Model:NC696AAR-ABA SR5710Y
dont know if that will help or not
