With the age of security, piracy protections, and Windows
XP operating systems I would like information on a
procedure for moving complete operating systems,
including all of the additional other vendor softwre
applications onto a new processor without having to spend
days trying to re-install all the software. It seems with
the purchase of a new computer that has a cpu, memory and
motherboard upgrade, Windows XP does not work on the new
processor. If I have been running a motherboard with
512mb of memory and a processor that runs at 1mhz, and I
want to upgrade to new motherboard with 1gb of memory,
and a processor that runs in excess of 2ghz, how can I do
this without having to re-intall all the operating
softwares which include XP? I have friends asking me to
upgrade their computers to a new XP system and so far we
can't get it done without going back to square one. There
has to be a method so we don't have to spend days getting
a new system up. In the past with 98 operating systems it
was just a matter of upgrades after putting in a new
motherboard. There is software to backup complete hard
drive operating systems and then restore them to new and
bigger hard drives. We need the software to recognize
these new drives along with all the XP software as well
as the other vendors software that we have installed. I
hope there are answers to these question.
