Hi all..!
I want to upgrade my PC.. well, basically rip out the old motherboard and
stick a new one in... I want to keep my harddrive with all the software on
it...
Perviously, I've taken bits of hardware out and replaced them with new
stuff, and Windows XP has simply asked me to re-activate my copy of XP, and
hence no problem.
BUT!!!!!! How is a new motherboard going to effect windows XP and it's
re-activation? Will I need a new copy of XP, or can I just replace the
motherboard, and then re-activate this copy of XP? Or, will Windows throw a
wobbler at me and refuse to do anything at all?
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.!
Many thanks in advance!
