Change CPU and MB on same Win 7 install?
Last response: in Components
Is there any possible way to change out your motherboard from an x58 to a z77 and get a new cpu without doing a new install on Windows 7?
Just curious.
Also what do you guys think about Windows 8?

yep i did this on my pc
went from socket 775 with core 2 duo e7600
to a socket 1155 intel i5 2400
you need to makesure to uninstall all motherboard drivers then use a program like easybcd to reset core count and install new drivers
would recomend a clean install but this is quite easy to do. havent done a clean install on my pc in over 2-3 years and its only very ocationally ive had any problems e.g. bsod etc
