Why is Windows so bad at handling hardware upgrades? Change motherboard

The indians that code it are too poor to ever even upgrade their house with a toilet, nevermind their computer with new parts

Literally coded by people who shit in the street

CPU change won't give you bluescreen, only motherboard change will. And only if it uses a different disk controller chip. It's very easy to get around if you really want to, but Windows will deactivate when you change mobo.

I feel this must be a thing of the past. I changed my CPU, RAM and GPU on the same W7 install and it booted fine with 0 problems.

The only thing it couldn't handle was switching to AHCI after installation.

I basically replaced my entire PC except for the hard drives, and updated to Win 10 afterwards, and didn't run into any issues. Not even driver-related ones. How come you folk can handle five different Linux distros but getting Windows to run poses am enormous array of frustrating problems to you?

It's actually fixed with Windows 10. I know what you're going to say. "B-but le botnet."

>you folk
People that use windows and people that use linux are actually not different kinds of people.

Because it doesn't really cater to that. You might get by you might not. Try to make a slipstream install disc or something. Or just reinstall. Windows seem to like to be reinstalled. I don't know why anyone would keep windows on the metal for more than a few months without just reinstalling or at least repairing it with the install disc. It just gets fucked over time.

i don't want to be the same species as some weird sad illiterate loser who uses windows 10

Windows 10's been pretty good about hardware changes.

Did a N68C-S UCC (Amd Athlon 64 x2) to H110M (I3 6100)swap and it booted up on the first try after spinning that circle and installing drivers by itself.

Windows became un-activated though, but it was no biggy.

Idk, maybe read a simple guide before upgrading? Also, stop being retarde could help.

I've been running windows 7 - that I installed on a 2007 2.0ghz dual core + hd 5670 + 2GB DDR2 RAM - on a 2500k/970 system.
After installing novidya drivers I've had 0 problems.

Did you boot into safe mode first? Or just a normal boot? I might be doing a similar upgrade soon and can't be fucked to reinstall windows

You're the only one being retarded here.

Can't help but think that you might be an illiterate loser.
