Hey there, the question is pretty simple: Can 2 different CPUs on different MOBOs run on the same OS ????? (So on the same SSD/HDD ???)

It's just a curiosity BTW ;)

THANKS :)

If you are booting over a network connection yes., It is called Network booting. If you are trying to use a local drive it is usually impossible as most drives have a single connection to a controller and most PC drive controllers are tied to a single motherboard and CPU.

Most of the time they would, if it is Windows 10. I managed to change every component in my computer and I could still boot into the same installation of Windows.
Every case might be different though.

Unless you get a dual CPU motherboard, no.
