Windows isn't likely to enjoy that. It'll see it as a complete
change of hardware, and is likely not to boot. You may be able to
persuade it to change all of its drivers to suitable ones using the
repair facility of the Windows install disk, but I've never had much
luck with that myself.
Linux will generally cope rather better, as long as you haven't
built your own cut-down kernel for it.
