Alright, im planning on upgrading my mobo and processor, so my question is will i need a windows disk even though im using the same hd?

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Yes

I thought this was true only if it was an OEM lisence. I could be wrong though.

A lot of driver changes, so yeah.

It's textbook vs. real world thing. Even with a non-OEM version on many builds the CD is going to be needed. Save the hassle by having it on hand.
