Transfer CPU....

[thenudo]

I have a Gateway Windows XP computer just sitting around. I want to put the CPU in the XP - into my Vista. Is there ..any tips before I start this operation?? I mean - I would like to transfer it all but I am new to this dept. of transferrals. I consider myself pretty savvy when it comes to fixing what ailes the robot but I'm new to the hardware side..

Thanks so much!

Transferring the OS? no you can't. The license is tied to your motherboard. Switching it to another system will not work.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what you are trying to implement.

Thenudo,

Download Speccy on both computers - Speccy - System Information - Free Download

Let us know the CPU information on the computer you wish to take the CPU out of.

Also let us know the Motherboard information of the computer you will be installing the CPU into.

Once we have that we can check compatibility.
