aspire x1301 motherboard replacement

Eggs700

Local computer shop told me the integrated video on the motherboard is not functioning. 
I can't find the same mother board...DA061/087L EuP 08120-3  48.3V006.031  MBSC010019

closest I could find is DA061/087L EuP 08120-3M  48.3V006.03M  MBSC010020

Is this compatible?

Thanks

Hello,

1. Do you use the pre-installed version of Windows (shipped with your desktop)?
   
2. Could you give me the first ten characters of the desktop serial number? Only the first ten.

Hello,

Thanks. As you use the pre-installed version of Windows (the Windows license key is "linked" with the motherboard), you have to order/buy this one from this Acer parts partner. FYI, the part number of yours is MB.SCM01.001 .

About Windows OEM license:

"Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer except the motherboard and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the license of new operating system software is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty.

The reason for this licensing rule primarily relates to the Microsoft Software License Terms and the support of the software covered by those terms. The Microsoft Software License Terms are a set of usage rights granted to the end user by the PC manufacturer, and relate only to rights for that software as installed on that particular PC. The system builder is required to support the software on the original PC. Understanding that end users, over time, upgrade their PCs with different components, Microsoft needed to have one base component "left standing" that would still define the original PC. Since the motherboard contains the CPU and is the "heart and soul" of the PC, when the motherboard is replaced (for reasons other than defect) a new PC is essentially created. The original system builder did not manufacture this new PC, and therefore cannot be expected to support it."
