Re: Will I have to reinstall W2K Pro Sp4 after new MB

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Mike,

I did a MB?CPU upgrade a year ago with W2K and just moved all my hardware to
the new MB and on boot up I had to config the HD's and I have had no
problems since.

I might have been lucky but it worked for me and I am going to do another
one here in the next month ...

I am going to upgrade my MB and CPU. As I recall with W98SE, it would
recognize a new MB as new hardware and no reinstall was necessary. Is
the same true with W2K? I have tons of software on my W2K system and I
hate the thought of having to reinstall Windows and all of the
software. Thanks in advance.
