Computer Folks-

I've built several computers from scratch, but I've never done a mobo/cpu
upgrade to a system that already had Win95 operational on it. I know that
you can't just install the new mobo/cpu combo and then fire it back up
without having Win95 blow a gasket or two, but I'm not exactly sure what
the proper procedure would be.

At a guess, I would say that it would go something like this:

Before changing out the hardware, go into Device Manager and remove just
about everything(?); turn off the machine and do the hardware swap; restart
with only the video card, floppy, CDROM and HDD attached; pray a little;
hope Win95 can figure out what's going on and detect the new "devices" on
the mobo; reinstall and redetect sound cards, NICs, or whatever, one at a
time. Pray a little more. Maybe have an operational system without doing a
format and reinstall?

Is this more or less correct?
