Well it may not be as simple as "just swap out" but yes you
can swap a board and keep same windows installation.
Basically it's a matter of getting it to boot far enough the
first time to allow Windows to re-PNP everything, which
typically means adding a few hard drive controller entries
and drivers to the installation. Google will find these
methods.
