Замена intel на amd без переустановки windows

Link your install to a Microsoft account, then you can track it and verify ownership if you aren’t able to re-activate. Now this only works if you’re not using an OEM copy of Windows 10, so if it was an off-the-shelf purchase, you should be fine. I’ve even seen some license upgrades from 7 and 8.1 work, but that’s a mixed bag as it’s considered an upgrade for a one-time activation iirc.

But link it to your MS account, check the OS repair thread in my sig for more information on that. Then you can leverage MS support better because they can see you’ve registered it to a user account, the same account contacting them for activation. I really haven’t ran into activation issues recently, maybe you’ll luck out and be able to use MS’s automated system that makes you punch in a bunch of numbers and letters….but not sure that 10 uses that method anymore.

Either rate, that’s where I’d start.

Edit: As-far-as the actual hardware replacement, 10 is pretty resilient, and I used to do this all the time with 8.1 as well…sometimes I would even do it sloppy…without uninstalling existing drivers, and still end up running just fine. It is best to uninstall all device drivers that you can, shut down, and do the swap. A fresh install is always best. Another option is to perform an in-place upgrade. By that, I mean download the Win 10 installer, set it up to run from DVD/USB or mount it (Win Explorer mounts ISO’s natively in 10), run the Win 10 Upgrade and that will replace the core image and critical files without removing your data, can help resolve some issues when drivers don’t play nice during a hardware swap.

@Solaris17 there was a means of resetting windows before anything was installed right?

yeah he could do a sysprep on the machine swap parts and boot back up. Interestingly though. If he has windows 10, when you swap something like a mobo or a full platform is actually kind of does a sysprep automatically on boot. This is most easily seen if someone is playing with windows2go. it goes thorough all of the «Getting Devices ready» «Now searching for updates» «Getting things together» phase minus the actual account setup and EULA of a fresh install. Basically like a build upgrade.

in most cases you can do exactly what you are trying to do by taking the os drive and plugging it into the new system and booting in safe mode. once in safe mode open a command prompt as administrator and type «set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1» hit enter. then type «start devmgmt.msc» hit enter again and device manager should open up. after that click the «view» tab and select «show hidden devices». then you just expand each list and unistall all the drivers that are slightly transparent. once you are all done go ahead and reboot the system and install all the new drivers. in most cases this is enough and does not need anything more done.

edit: just boot the os into safe mode the first time and let it install drivers then reboot and fallow the steps i listed above. back with windows vista and earlier windows versions this would be problematic but sense 7 ive found that swapping boards from different manufacturers and even amd to intel has become mostly doable. ive done it a handfull of times.

did it with a b250 motherboard upgrading to z270, did not need to reinstall anything, windows was still activated
did it with the z270 into z370 and lost windows activation, however did not have to reinstall any drivers, windows handled everything

i don’t recommend doing it by going from amd > intel

Yes, exactly. Works fine, and I have swapped from AMD to intel and back and forth and mainstream and HEDT… I have an OS that been on close to 100 boards without any re-install that I use often.

Same here. Been using the same Win10 install on my test bench with everything from the Pentium 4 to the i7-8700K (even mobile parts) and never once had it fail to accommodate the new hardware.

Don’t upgrade your mother, she’s probably fine as is

But yes I would definitely start from scratch. Sure, Windows 10 handles hardware changes better, but we have literally no idea what you’ve got installed on your system and its dependancies. There is more than just an OS tied into this in hundreds of ways none of us can probably tell. And its not like its hard either to start fresh. Put all your data on a separate drive, start the new rig with an OS drive and it takes all of 30 minutes, and that’s being slow.

Windows 10 will often transfer between systems, but it does bloat and slow down eventually

I’ve had systems refuse to transfer because the USB drivers broke — this was intel to intel, ivy bridge motherboard upgrade.
I’ve also had ASUS motherboards install some odd driver/service that had to be disabled or the system would BSOD on every boot (anything -> asus worked, Asus -> anything else did not)

And then of course is the whole legacy boot vs UEFI…

transferring to see if it works? sure, give it a shot. relying on it to work and risking losing everything anyway? hell no, just back shit up in advance and clean install.

for every one i’ve had issues, 10 have worked

that doesnt help you if you’ve torn apart the old system or sold it, and need to access those files
