You simply cannot take anything for granted. My recent experience in
upgrading a CPU and Motherboard: I ordered a new CPU, Motherboard, and
OEM Windows XP Home (believing that I would need a new OS). I fitted the
new items in the case, and used my original SATA HD drive (which had
everything used on the old CPU/Motherboard setup). To my surprise,
everything worked alright;
I had a complete hardware upgrade earlier this year, box, MB, CPU, vid
card, the works. I just plugged the old drive in and switched on,
windows went into hyperdrive finding new hardware but everything worked,
I upgraded to the drivers that came with the various bit and didn't lose
a single installed program, maybe I was lucky, I do have XP Pro
Corporate on a multi licence which may have been relevant.
