Why can't you use the same OS without reinstalling on a different motherboard with the exact same socket type?
Why can't you use the same OS without reinstalling on a different motherboard with the exact same socket type?
You can. I took out my SSD with Ubuntu 14.04 on it and inserted it into another computer, with another motherboard, and it Just Werked[tm]
Im on Windows and on Gentoo.
Socket type isn't the only thing that differentiates mother boards and CPUs.
Is this bait?
sauce
Works on *buntu and Windows 10. Sup Forums is too autistic for those OSes.

thanks f4m
you can, i haven't had any problems transplanting my windows 7 installation, i've used it on three different motherboards
i guess with some hardware setups there could be compatibility issues but you can run a driver cleaner to increase the chance of success
>three different motherboards
or two actually
what socket type was it?
what about 8.1?
lga 775 but it doesn't matter
I switched from lga 775 to 1151 without a problem OP

8.1 may bluescreen every time during bootup if there is incompatibility. Windows 10 on the other hand will reinstall motherboard drivers by itself when moved to a different motherboard. Embrace the botnet.
Because there is copyright protections and piracy protection built into Windows. If they didn't lock your key to a single motherboard then you would be able to just give out your key to people and they would also have a legal copy of Windows. I do agree that this is a pain in the ass and there should be a better way of validation.
why would the electrical interface matter for a software issue?
Did you unistall each driver or something before you plugged in the old OS hard drive
FUCKING MAKIPOSTERS; GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY BOARD!!!!
What are you people talking about? Is there supposed to be a problem?
I plugged it in, it said it was scanning hardware changes, it restarted, it booted up.
I honestly had no clue you aren't supposed to be able to do this until OP's thread popped up.
the old motherboard failed, then with the new motherboard i downloaded some disk that i ran before i booted windows the first time
don't lewd the yurus
>can't tell his Maki's from his Akari's
You're an embarrassment to Sup Forums
are you telling me you can take your SSD with windows 7 or 8.1 installed and use it anywhere?
...
Yurus are not for lewd
I disagree!
