Can I Replace My Motherboard With This One?

Jaimond Hill · Mar 20, 2013

Hi, I'm about to upgrade my system by getting a new motherboard (along with cpu, gpu and ram) and I would like to know whether my old motherboard:

Can be replaced with this one

I have an ATX case as well.
Thank you

yes you can do the mobo swap on the old system but before doing that, set all you windows HDD drivers to generic or you'll end up having to do a fresh windows install. Windows needs a some care before you can migrate from one mobo design to another.

satyamdubey :

I have windows XP pro service pack 3 would it be better just to get Windows 8 or 7?

yes it will be better to get the latest OS. Latest OS will bring a lot more support to the table and most of your compatibility issues are resolved timely.
