Hi guys,
some advice please. I have a friend who has passed me an advent DT2412 desktop computer.
The mobo has failed (MSI B75MA-P45) and he wants to replace it with a MSI Z77A-G43.
I suggested that this would need a fresh re-install as its a different chipset but the question I want to ask is that is he allowed to do this with the computer being a prebuild?
If my friend installed a new B75 chipset motherboard then it would be seen as a direct replacement but if he upgraded to a Z77 chipset then this would be seen as an upgrade and thus the recovery discs supplied by advent would not be valid.
am I correct in saying this?
many thanks in advance for all comments.
