I have a prebuilt HP computer that came with Vista home Premium installed. The airflow in the case isn't what I want it to be, but I like everything else. I'm thinking about moving the whole nine yards to a bigger case with room for a couple more fans. I'd like to avoid the expense of buying an operating system I already have, tho. If I reuse the same motherboard, won't I be OK from a licensing standpoint?


If you can find a case to fit, yes, you should be OK.
