I upgraded everything (without using sysprep) and booted into windows without a hitch. I then had to wait a couple of minutes while windows looked for the new drivers before I logged on. Once I'd logged on, Windows, Office 2007 and Norton Internet Security needed re-activating. Apart from this...

Unfortunately my graphics card is also broken (can't run games, driver keeps resetting & a few BSODs) so I am now also doing the following upgrade: nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 320MB -> nVidia GeForce GTX 260 I think I may have to reinstall windows 7 now but I'll try it first without re-installing.

Thing is I’m upgrading to a different chipset.:frown: Here is the exact upgrades I’m going to make: CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 -> Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Motherboard - ASUS P5B (P965 Chipset) -> Intel Desktop Board DP45SG (P45 Chipset) RAM - 2GB (2x1GB) 800MHz DDR2 -> 4GB...

I am about to undergo a similar procedure. Can you give me any advice on what you did? Did you prepare your computer before you swapped the motherboard (e.g. sysprep) or did you just turn off your computer and take the plunge? P.S I am running Windows 7 RC x64
