Im getting a new (or repaired) motherboard in 2 weeks, and I think I need to re-install windows(uninstalled driver by mistake), my question is do I have to reset the bios on the new motherboard? Same model.

do not mess with BIOS/CMOS unless something is wrong
Only if there is a problem would I be looking to reset the BIOS.
You will more than likely have to set the time in the BIOs because it’s probably already reset.
If it’s completely new, you don’t need to reset the bios; the bios will come reseted and unaltered.
New motherboard is set to default, you can set it as you like.
No. But you might have to go into BIOS Setup,(or CMOS Setup, or Change Setup), and set the First Boot Device,(or First Boot Option), in Boot Order to cdrom, to boot the Win OS again. You might also have to re-activate Windows on your harddrive again. This isn’t a problem, just click on Activate, click on the phone number, and when the computer voice, or nice person comes on, read them the numbers on your screen. They will say just a moment, and read some numbers back to you, which you will enter into the activation boxes. Click on OK, and you’re set!
