Hello. I'm planning to buy a new motherboard because mine is 7 years old. But I'm afraid if data loss when i replace motherboard. I dont know it does or doesnt. It is windows update I downloaded about 4gb and it was my biggest deal of my life I even sold my Golden watch. So does replacing motherboard or cpu delete my downloaded goddamn updates?
Does replacing motherboard lose data?

No it does not delete data. However, I would recommend it matches your CPU. If your motherboard is 7 years old, then your CPU is also old. Meaning a new motherboard will need to match a CPU as well.
The data is storage onto the hard drive and will be the same when you hook it to the new motherboard.

It also would be good to do fresh install of Windows when you get your new MB as old drivers from your old MB may cause some performance issues.
