I have Vista premium installed on old mobo and a Pentium 4 3.0; I have aquired a new Asus mobo and Pentium D 2.8; Can I just move HDD with Vista installed, old graphics adapter, memory and modem to the new mobo without problems? will Microsoft object? will I have to reinstall Vista?

Jump to PostI dont think there will be an issue as long as you provide the proper driver for the MB. Pre-Installed Vista should work with your H/W change.
Jump to PostYou will need to re-install and you will need to re-activate (if it fails rung up MS on the number provided and explain, they will be ok)
