My mother in-law has a funky HP celeron that is the cheese to put it lightly. The mobo doesnt even have a grafix port. So I am gonna upgrade her mobo (Abit IS7-V2 wich I had laying around), p4 prescott 3.0 800fsb, and a gig of geil pc3200 ram.
My question is this:
When I swap out the mobo and all, can I use the installed Operating system? or will it need a fresh install?
She has a whole load files and programs she wants to keep.
I have built a few gaming machines but never done a big hardware swap before with out doing a fresh install.
