    CPU Transplant

    Hello everyone! Some of you may remember how I was fuming about when my brother bought that speced out HP a while back. Well it seems he's coming to his senses and he's building (some what) a rig. The only real changes to the current setup are the Mobo and the case. There is one worry I have though, is it possible to transplant the I7 CPU from the HP to a new MSI Mobo? I know some PC manufactures like to sabotage their hardware so it will only work with it's original system. (cough cough apple cough cough) Think there'll be any problems? Now what about the OS? I know Microsoft likes to bind their copies of Windows to the Mobo of the PC it is first installed to. Any way to avoid that?
