So my father wants to build a new computer, the hardware ...
Intel LGA1155 Q67 Express motherboard - Link
Intel Core i7-2600K - Link
2x Corsair Dominator 8GB PC3-10666 - Link
OCZ 180GB Vertex 2 SSD - Link
We'd be sticking this into his current Gateway FX6000 ...
i7 920
OEM Intel motherboard (believe it's made by Foxconn)
Radeon HD4850
OCZ 750w PS.
The issue is that he doesn't want to have to reinstall Windows, and the tons of applications he has installed for work. He has back up images that he has used to transfer from his old machine to the current one, but they were the same model family, FX6000.
My question is will he be able to use the images and put his current install back on that machine once built? Or is the hardware too different to be able to transfer the image without problems?
