Im wanting to change motherboard and cpu from a z87 & i5 4670k to a z170 & i7 6700K
But i dont want to have to reinstall windows 10. i want to keep the same ssd with all my stuff on it.
My windows 10 is activated with a digital license linked to my Microsoft account so is it just as simple as taking the old motherboard & cpu out and put in the new one?
Im also currently using ddr3 ram so im guessing ill have to replace that too.
Im planning on getting a gtx 1080/1080 ti , should i just get that instead of upgrading my motherboard and cpu? would i see much difference in performance over my i5 and the new i7?
