Re: Changing MB and CPU - reinstall of Fedora needed?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Quoting Christopher Svanefalk <christopher.svanefalk@xxxxxxxxx>:

I will be moving from an AMD FX-8120 to an Intel i7 3930K, which of course
means I will be changing my motherboard as well. All other relevant system
components will stay the same (including the HDD and any data on it).

I just wondered if Fedora can accomodate the new hardware directly, or if
there are any procedures I should go through after booting again? Could a
reinstall be needed? I am guessing I will not have a problem booting, since
Grub is installed on the MBR of the drive, and I believe the new MB will
search this first for a bootloader.

Thanks in advance for all help!

you HAVE got a current full backup haven't you? and if you do I'd say have a go at it, Fedora has been very resilient for me.
