Is Win7-64 smart enough to work with a new/different MoBo install?
I currently have a PC with a failed MoBo/PSU (on another Seven forum thread).
I know in the past with older OS versions, they didn't like it if you changed/upgraded the MoBo to a different type (i.e. chipset, etc.), because the MoBo (Windows OS) drivers that were in place when it was originally installed was not compatible with a new MoBo. This usually caused the OS to get trashed when booting up and self-attempting to fix itself due to new hardware.
Has anyone had experience upgrading their MoBo with an existing Win7-64 install on their HD?
I'd really rather not have to do a fresh install, and then wait (days) to load and install the 100's of updates, then reinstall all my programs. Arg!
Thanks,
Bill
