Hey, I was wondering how would you upgrade an old computer's motherboard if the computer is running windows? All I want to do is upgrade the motherboard and Ram but nothing else, you don't need to tell be about the physical instillation, just the software installation.

Will I have to buy another copy of Windows or just reuse the previous one somehow?

The Previous setup is:
Intel Pentium 4 (upgrading it later)
512 GB DDR 400Mhz Ram
80 GB Hard drive
Optical Drive
(Dont know what the previous motherboard is)
 
It should "just work", though it may think enough hardware has changed that it will re-ask for the product key.
