Hey Folks
I am sure this is a dumb question and I know just enough to be dangerous plus it's been a long time since I saw the inside of a computer build. I have a ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT LGA 1155 Intel Mini ITX motherboard with a Intel Core i5-2400 3.1GHz LGA 1155 95W CPU. The hard drive is a Corsair SSD and has software on it that I don't want to try and re-stall on a new machine (if I can even find the disks).
How hard is it to swap in a new motherboard and CPU and use the old drive? Am I going to get a whole bunch of driver conflicts? Will it even boot up? Is there a preferred way to solve this dilemma or I just going to have to bite the bullet build a new machine and reinstall all the software?
thanks
