New hardware same HDD

[andreaslutsch]

Hi I changed my hardware completely to a new motherboard, new video card, new cpu but I have the same network card and harddsik. After this change I booted up the windows and it works. I got no errors as I expected and before I thought I should reinstall windows. Should I uninstall old drivers and install the new ones or is it recommended to reinstall windows. Btw I am running windows xp.

You may have gotten lucky, but generally is is very bad to move an installed copy of Windows form one set of hardware to another.

To prevent future issues, I would reinstall Windows.
