Hi everybody!! I have this Acer Aspire M3450-UR30P and after a week trying to install a use a EVGA GTX 960, my conclusion is that I need a new mobo, so this are my actual specs on the acer:
AMD FX 4100 / 3.6 GHz ( 3.8 GHz ) ( Quad-Core ) Turbo CORE Technology
RAM: 12 GB (installed) / 16 GB (max)
1 TB Hard Drive standard, Serial ATA-300
Graphics Controller: ATI Radeon HD 4250
OS Provided: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition
Power: 520 Watt
Motherboard: Acer RS880PM-AM
So I planning to keep everything except for the trashy and locked RS880PM-AM mobo and buy the MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ and a new case, so my questions are:
1) Do I need a clean HDD to make a installation of windows?
2) if is so, how do I clean/format my HDD if it has hidden partitions with Acer information?
Thnx in advance for your replays.
