I want to change the mb in my pc. I have an intel dx58so with i7-920 cpu. I want an asus sabertooth z87 with i7-477k cpu. is it possible to use the same hard drive that i was using with the intel mb? this way i don't loose my files and widows 8 pro op system? thanks for any help. the hard drive is a wdc100fals.

I'm not familiar with those mobos down to the driver level but my guess would be that they use different drivers and the correct ones are installed when the OS is installed. So although it might work, it might not, and even if it does it might be unreliable.

Backup, install new mobo, reinstall OS and drivers, and restore data. It never hurts to reinstall software apps also.
