Hi, I'm swapping out an a320 for an x470 motherboard. I have windows 10 home and loads of programs installed. Windows is NOT activated.
I know the safest thing to do is a clean install but I saw a post recently suggesting I could try booting from my win 10 installation USB and running "repair" rather than a fresh install. Didn't bookmark the post and now can't find it!
Does anybody know if the OS not being activated is better or worse in terms of potential driver problems etc when attempting to keep the existing OS installation?
