I find that a bit hard to believe, but then again, it's that miserable pile of turd Win8 that stinks almost as bad as Vista. I have said it before, but when I built my current machine, which only shared, of the central hardware (because I cloned the HDD to an SSD), the video card with the old machine, and it was even an AMD->Intel mobo/CPU switch, I simply reset Win7 to default driver state (there was a fancy command for that) and booted the new computer with the same Windows installation. Win7 noticed something's different (no shit) and fixed hardware conflicts during the boot, then I needed to reboot and Win7 launched perfectly. Apparently Win8 is, surprise surprise, far less capable if your analyses are correct, Ryll.
