Avoiding W98 reinstall on MB switch

[Kakao]

I'm going to change my motherboard in a few days and wouldn't like to reinstall Windows and all software.
I know there is a registry trick to make Windows reinstall all the hardware. Something like deleting an entry.
Does someone know about it ?

Delete the enum section. Open regedit and run find enum. I believe its in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. I would reinstall the OS though for preformance but thats just me.

Thanks,

Do you think it would be the same as just going to device manager and removing everything ?

No you have to delete enum in regedit.
