[Olle118]

Hello everyone!
In a couple of days im gonna add new parts to my PC. The things im changning is, the motherboard and for that I bought some RAM and a new copy of windows. I also have a new CPU im gonna add.

And I wondered if there is anything special I need to know before I remove the old parts and add the new ones.
Like do I need to do anything to my HDD because of the new windows? What components need drivers that I can download? And just general stuff that I might need to think about.
Thank you in advance!

When you're moving to a new motherboard(irrespective of a new CPU) it's advised to reinstall your OS and then install the necessary chipset and device drivers for optimal operation. If you're on an upgraded installation of Windows 10 then you're advised to revert to older OS, change hardware, reinstall older OS and then upgrade to Windows 10. If you're migrating from more ram than the previous make sure your OS architecture is in order i.e 64 bit OS for ram above 3GB's.

If you passed on your current systems specs and your intended hardware upgrades then we could guide you to the right drivers and proved additional suggestions. It'd also be a good idea to read up on the below linked guide as well.
