So basically I have 2 used computers, one has a Core 2 Quad, and the other one has an Intel core I5, both of them are being used, so my question is, can I replace the Core 2 Quad and its motherboard with the Core I5 and its motherboard, like swap them from one PC to the other, without having to reinstall Windows?
 
Solution
Probably not. It might boot but you will likely run into problems. I would always reinstall windows when doing a major hardware change like that.
