<div dir="ltr">Hello Chito ,<div><br></div><div>We have an EVG 620 system which is running with Win 2000. We recently faced the same issue as you had mentioned . I can share with you my experiences : </div><div><br></div><div>Issue noticed : random booting error, screen stuck with "applying settings"". Also our IT team figured out problem with motherboard . </div><div><br></div><div>Outline :</div><div><ol><li style="margin-left:15px"> multiple restart worked few times , then the system crashed.</li><li style="margin-left:15px"> We tried to do motherboard local servicing , and after a long duration we got it done. </li><li style="margin-left:15px"> EVG said they can re install the software provided we get the licensed version of Win 2000. We had the cloned HDD. </li><li style="margin-left:15px"> We were lucky to get an old CPU ( we even looked into the CPU's used by our senior students to get an older version ) , which matched the hardware configuration . But we had trouble with the LAN connection. </li><li style="margin-left:15px">We had purchased both EVG 620 and EVG Bonder together . The CPU configuration matched and Bonder did not require the LAN. We have heavy use of EVG 620 , hence connected the Bonder CPU to EVG with repaired motherboard . It all worked well . </li><li style="margin-left:15px"> EVG CPU we connected to the Bonder later . <br></li><li style="margin-left:15px"> As you mentioned the option of upgrade was not very feasible for us. </li></ol><div>We could, after long wait, get the tool up. EVG supported us by providing registration code multiple times, till we got the tool working. </div></div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><span

<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>
