PC no post

So my current PC refuses to post, and I currently don't feel like messing with it, my day is already really crappy so i don't care right now. My question is will my windows install get screwed up if I put it on another PC?

No. It will either boot or not, depending on your hardware configs and version of Windows.

On windows 10 you have to just reactivate, anything else its a coin toss (win7, 8.1)

It should boot, iits windows 10. I just wonder about things like screwed up registry and drivers.

Nope, it'll add new necessary drivers. I have an SSD that I use specifically for hardware testing of computers. It's been through probably 100 different hardware configs with no noticeable problems yet.

If it doesnt work, you get a brand new fresh install of windows. Nothing feels better than a fresh install especially if you have nothing but windows on it

I'm old school. I still do a clean reinstall of Windows when switching motherboards. I don't know if it's really necessary, but it makes me feel better.

 

That said, I have a crappy 80GB HDD with Windows 10 on it that moves from PC to PC for testing, hardware debug and occasionally just to see if I can make Windows 10 play nice with a Pentium 4 and 512MB of DDR2-slowhundred

I love hooking an SSD up to old systems just to bottleneck CPU's. It's really fun

Yeah, I do that to. This probably won't last more than about 3 days though
