You could try it but it would be better just to do a fresh reinstall
Will old Vista 32 on HDD work on new mobo?
Son's computer died so I'm doing an upgrade.
His psu & GA-P35-DS3L both fried. It has a HDD with existing OEM Vista 32 bit OS with Gigabyte mobo drivers.
I'm replacing the psu and replacing the fried mobo with a Biostar TP45-HP mobo.
Can I use the old HDD without wiping the data and install the new Biostar mobo drivers or will it not boot due to the Gigabyte drivers?
Or do I use a new mobo, new HDD and a new OEM Vista 64 and link the older HDD later?
