| 1295849 | 2012-08-21 09:46:00 | yeah i think ill just put WARNING: Advice is in most cases likely to be incorrect, use at own risk. at the end of all my posts. Don't you mean in your signature? Don't patent it though, I may need to add it to mine as well :D |

| 1295851 | 2012-08-21 09:57:00 | no, no. Trust me its not possible in html to put things in signatures, i would know. easiest way is to convert your text ti binary, then to hex and then to my new system that has only 1 base, it makes everything so much simpler. and then code your own word proceeding program and save it deep within the system files for said program, then it is ready to be reverse engineered and copied and pasted for your convenience. that's smart. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1295852 | 2012-08-21 10:26:00 | Wow! Thats like, ummm... Revolutionary! | stratex5 (16685) | ||
| 1295853 | 2012-08-21 11:01:00 | yeah i think ill just put WARNING: Advice is in most cases likely to be incorrect, use at own risk. at the end of all my posts. Rather pointless to post something if it's likely to be incorrect. A better idea would be to post what you do know, or do research before posting to get your facts right. Then, you gain credibility and also provide information that's useful ;) x2 for the clean reinstall. You will have so many less problems that way. It may indeed be possible to remove the old drivers and get the new ones in, but you do run the risk of performance and stability issues even if it does boot without crashing immediately. Besides - it does Windows good to get reinstalled once in a while! |

| 1295855 | 2012-08-21 20:10:00 | On top of which even if you get it to work it'll still need to be reactivated because of the hardware change. It is possible, one of the techs has posted the method here a few times but I never used it and don't remember, something like sysprep maybe? To remove all the hardware specific drivers and restore windows to a generic state. |

| 1295856 | 2012-08-21 21:54:00 | Because of the different cpu and motherboard architecture, I would personally do a fresh install. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1295857 | 2012-08-21 21:57:00 | I've done something similar... AMD to Intel on Windows XP and it booted ok and worked without problem for a number of months until & reinstalled it. Of course, you need to remove the drivers for your old motherboard & install the new ones etc. Windows is pretty resilient these days. That said, a clean install is always the best option. At least if it blue screens you can eliminate old drivers etc as one of the possible problems :D |

Yeah, I've done it twice on my own machines (temporarily) with success. But I reinstalled afterwards anyway. |
