I've never had to, but I've been told that it's good practice to remove as
much as you can out of the motherboard resources in the device manager
along with ports and other devices.. But I would back up the registry before
hand just in case.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Installing a new motherboard and processor.


> I'm upgrading from an AMD Athlon 1.0GHz processor to a Intel Pentium 4
1.8MHz and motherboard.
> I would like to run my original OS configuration. Do I need to remove some
system devices in Device Manager to allow Windows 98 to load properly the
first time and config to my new motherboard and processor? I known I would
have to remove these just before I shut down the last time, correct?
