Bought a s/h motherboard for my broken Yoga S1 (i5 cpu) on Monday.


Swapped it today when it arrived in the post.

I had used the hard drive in something else so I swapped the HD out of a
machine running win 10 on a really slow AMD A4.

It booted first time and then installed a few drivers.

Then I reset it in the settings to get a clean machine and it downloaded
a new version of windows and installed it, took about an hour including
downloading the image.

Then I upgraded from home to pro, which it did free and activated itself.

Then I got it to install the latest version that isn't on automatic roll
out ATM.

That took longer, about 2 hrs.

So in summary it appears you can change from AMD to Intel without doing
anything special by swapping disks.

Swapping the MB and the disk didn't require manual activation.

YMMV.

Assuming it carries on working its well worth the £90 to fix as its
touch screen, wacom digitizer, i5, 8G RAM.

I would have fixed it a couple of years ago but the MB was £400+.
