Windows 8 operating system
You can likely run Windows 8 on your existing hard drive even after upgrading the motherboard. The installation will use the copy from your drive, and switching should be straightforward if everything is compatible.
Simply connect your HDD to the motherboard, and it should function without any problems. The operating system resides on the HDD, not the motherboard.
Great! I'll make sure to mark your post as solved if there are no further comments.
