Probably not very well and if it works it all it would depend on whether the original board was AMD or Intel and just how far apart the platforms were.

Hey all-

Another one but had troubles.


Using a New Motherboard with Windows 7 on an Old Hard Drive

Hello,

My old motherboard died without my having the ability to delete the old drivers off of the hard drive. I have installed a new motherboard and am attempting to boot into the old hard drive, however, Windows 7 will simply start up, try to load the files, and then enter a restart loop.
