Hey guys,

Need your opinion and help here.

Question: I am going to change my whole system (upgrade) including CPU, MOBO, RAM, GRAPHIC CARD except that, I am not buying another HArd Disk. I want to move my old hard disk to the new system. But I got like 80GB of programs installed + important files in that C: Drive.

If I installed the hard disk to the new motherboard. Will it? 1. detect all the new hardware, when it start up the windows, and i can just fly through the driver installation again, and all programs will work. OR 2. Windows will not start up at all, have to clean install everything.

I would prefer the No.1. As i dont have time to do a clean install for now. Working day and night for project with that pc.

Would anybody here have any experience and tell me what actually will happen?

Thanks. Happy NEW YEAR!

Yes it will.

I've used my current Windows installation with the following boards ......

ABIT NF7-S, EPOX 8RDA+, ABIT NV8, DFI NF4X, BIOSTAR TForce 550, BIOSTAR TP35D2-A7, ASUS P5K-E

Same chip only can wat

Repairing windows installation will sometimes do the trick if for some reason you encounter BSOD (usually different chipset)

i had no problem migrating from AMD single core to multiple nForce4 chipset boards

then to X2 on 550

then to Intel C2D on 2 different P35 boards.

after boot up Windows, just install the driver for the new chipset.

So what you're saying

If i use from 945 to p35 it will work...as long as it is Intel based?
