How to replace motherboard without reinstalling your operating system

How to replace motherboard without reinstalling your operating system <windows based>

This first condition you have to meet is your current motherboard is still in working condition and you just want to upgrade your whole components except the Hard drive which contains all your useful programs and date that you do not want to lose or reinstall them all over again.

the first step you need to purchase a PCI or PCI-E Sata or IDE controller card you need to first find out IF your computer motherboard has a PCI or PCI-e connecdtion slot and also the new motherboard you are about to replace with has to have the same slot that you can plug in the controller card to it in order to boot your operating system at the new system board without getting the blue screen i will explain how at this article.
the second step is to install the PCI or PCI-E controller card into the slot and then boot up your computer once the computer boots up a new hardware will be found and you need to load the driver on your current OS.
and now it is the time to replace your motherboard and other major components after putting all the parts in.you need to put the PCI or PCI-e controller card in to the new motherboard and connect your OS hard drive to the controller card "caution" not connecting the main hard drive to your motherboard.
because you have loaded the controller card's driver on your OS already so the hard drive will recognize the controller card once the system is booting up the driver is there so you will not get blue screen anymore. IF you connect the hard drive to the new motherboard because of the controller chipset is different or newer there is huge change the windows will get blue screen that' why we need a controller card and need the old motherboard to be in working condition in order to load the controller card driver into your system then use the controller card to lead your os booting up in the new motherbard after the computer boots up you can start loading the all necessary drivers into your operating-system like the video chipset sound.......
After all the drivers are loaded up shut down your computer and connect your hard drive to the new motherboard now boot it up again you should get right in to windows without any problem.
From now on you are no longer needing the PCI-E or PCI controller card anymore it has done its work already.
this is a good to know tricks for all people who want the same way as I do and I've been doing this for my customer for many years one thing you need to remember you may have to reactivate your windows after the changing job is done.



For your money wise I suggest you purchase the controller card at your local computer shop so after using it you can have it returned and get your money back IF you have any questions please feel free to post a common and I will response as soon as possible
