shmerl: Yep, Linux is not Windows that would hang and require you to enter keys if you move your hard drive between computers.
Haha, must be fun! I can't say, because I don't use Windows for a very long time. But I might have to be forced to use it, because of Fallout 4 unavailability and issues with Wine.
Still, I do remember that moving from one hardware configuration to another, for example like when upgrading motherboard+cpu, windows 2k and xp would hang on boot and would require full reinstall. Driver cleaners won't help. Suprisingly, I don't remember Windows 98/95 behaving like this.
But yes, with Linux, I never cared, if it gets past bootloader, it boots on everything.
