<p>Our EV620 is running win98 and the cost EVG was talking to
upgrade it to the latest windows was above what I am willing to
pay. It would not just be the computer that needed upgrading but
also parts of the hardware also.</p>
<p> We have a cloned HDD of the computer, but that would only be
good in case the HDD failed and we wanted to put it back into the
same computer. <br>
</p>
<p>What I want to do is build a secondary computer with a cloned
HDD, as our win98 computer is showing signs of failing - random
crashing, not properly booting, forgetting drives (drives that are
not used but errors are appearing). In my experience you can not
just put a HDD into a new computer as it will have to load in
drivers for the motherboard and other hardware changes (unless you
have the same hardware - which I will likely not). The other
concern is if I move the EV620 boards from one computer to another
if they will be recognized or if they also have a license key -
last thing I need is the system down as the boards will not be
recognized by either computer. <br>
</p>
<p>Has anyone done this with their systems that are running older
operating systems.</p>
