There is a problem with my current mobo (Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 rev2.0) and as a result I need to RMA it which according to Gigabyte's rep it will take a week or so to get it fixed and delivered.
While waiting for my mobo, my friend will let me borrow his old mobo (Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H;I'm not sure which revision http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3309#ov or http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3503#ov) because it has the matching chipset for CPU. I'll be using his mobo until my newly fixed mobo arrives.
With that being said, what do I need to do before replacing the mobo? I have little to no knowledge of what to do at this stage though luckily, my friend will be able to replace/install the mobos for me so for the physical installation everything will be okay (hopefully).
However, as for software/desktop stuff I'm not really sure what to do. My friend said he will take care of it though I feel like he will "miss" something and as a result "might" cause a problem in future.
If it's something like such as replacing video cards where you only need to delete the driver and install the right driver for the card, I'd like to handle it before my friend does it.
Also, if possible I'd like to get some answers for these questions as well:
- What will happen to my keyboard/mouse drivers, display drivers, VPN adapter, soundcard etc? Will they work just as normal on the old mobo?
- While using my friend's old mobo, am I able to continue using it like I normally do such as gamings, watching, desktop activities etc?
- When I receive my original/fixed mobo, does the installing/replacing method (both external and internal) applies same as how the old mobo was installed?
Thank you, help would be appreciated it.
