reinstall os

So I recently swapped out my old i5-7500 for a Ryzen 5 3600x and a new motherboard to match. I know windows 10 is good for recognizing new parts which mine did on first boot, it seems to be working just fine with all the drivers installed. My question is since I've had different parts before...

I've been using the same installation of Windows 10 Home for over 4 years, but for the last month my PC has been doing all sorts of annoying things like random crashes and blue screens and stuff, so I'm thinking about reinstalling Windows and this time I want to install Windows 10 Pro. I only...

I'm going to help somebody reinstall Windows 10 on their laptop this weekend, as in a fresh OS install from the ISO USB drive. I was wondering, is there anything specific I need to know about doing it with this laptop? I've done it with an XPS 15 before, and there were a lot more drivers...

So a bit of context, i'm getting a new SSD and want to run windows and a few programs off it for the boot speed but keep my current HDD for files and what not. My HDD is 1TB (has about 600gb on it) and the SSD is 500GB so wont fit everything. I dont really know much about this so potential dumb...

Hey, I just bought a retail key for Win 10 Pro, but sadly I currently have pirated Win 8.1 installed on this PC. If I upgrade from pirated win8.1 will pirated status still carry over or will it leave a mark somewhere?
