The difference is that ACPI or platform devices in general are unexpected to be added. By definition it means that the motherboard has most likely been changed.
You could encounter a new ACPI artifact after simply re-flashing your MB with an updated BIOS, without opening the chassis. "If windows can't deal with that, their loss!" :)
