I'm replacing a burnt-out Motherboard with an identical model, will I have to reinstall anything?

The new motherboard will be the EXACT same model and manufacturer as the previous one, I'm hoping I can just unplug everything, lift out the old motherboard, slide in the new one, replug everything, and just start it up with no issues.

Make sure you get the same REVISION of the motherboard!
Otherwise, I think you should be ok without having to reinstall anything.

Hai,
There will be no problem but better u enter into safe mode(press f8 key while sytem starts) and uninstall graphic drivers and restart the machine and start normally and install all the drivers.

no you wouldn't need to do anything as long as it's the EXACT same model
