How to find my motherboard model in windows8.1 ?

Change motherboard with exact same model

Short answer: You do not have to reinstall. In fact, you will be able to continue normally.

Long answer: Traditionally, changing motherboard has always been one of the things that voided Windows activation. However, you need not worry, for the following reasons:

• Windows might not considers the replacement of the motherboard with an exact same model a motherboard change. It entirely depends on the manufacturer and intricate manufacturing details that we don't know. (For example, what if the manufacturer sends a motherboard with updated BIOS or a different serial number?) Also, Windows 10 is a much more tolerant and lenient Windows.
  
• You can prevent the activation getting voided by associating your Windows 10 license with your Microsoft account. Either sign in to Windows using a Microsoft account, or use the Settings app to link the license. For detailed information, see:
  
  1. "How to associate your Windows 10 license with a Microsoft account". On MSFT. 15 October 2016. (Explains how to sign in using a Microsoft account, which automatically links Windows license with the account.)
     
  2. "Reactivating Windows 10 after a hardware change". Support. Microsoft. 1 September 2016. (Explains how to (1) link a Windows license to a Microsoft account without signing in with one, and (2) how to recover that license.)
     
• On previous versions of Windows, such as Windows 7, people could contact Microsoft support, explain their case, and get their Windows reactivated while continuing to work unhindered during the 30-day grace period. Replacing a damaged motherboard with the exact same model has always been good enough for Microsoft to warrant reactivation.
  

In any case, you can most likely continue working unhindered.

Before changing your motherboard, make sure you do a full shutdown. To do so, hold down the Shift key before clicking on the shutdown button.

Choice of memory and motherboard... a bit stuck...

No one who got some suggestions on this one, huh?

I've found out that the Asus M3A78-T needs to be flashed, so then that motherboard is excluded from my list. Which motherboard and memory should I then go for? Any suggestions?
