Hi all, new here so please be patient with me.
I've just bought myself a new MB & processor to upgrade my machine, it is an Asus Prime A320M-K with AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU
my current setup is a Asus A68HM-Plus with AMD A6 6400
I was hoping this would be a simple upgrade as both MBs are asus (i had previously upgraded from an ECS GeForce 6100 PM-M2 to this Asus A68 and all i did was plug everything in, and it worked) but with this new MB/CPU after booting up and logging into windows, after a few mins i'm getting a blue screen with a asio.sys error
I know the best way to resolve this is to start afresh with reinstalling windows, but, i have hundreds of GB of music, videos, photos as well as steam saved games on this HDD which i really really don't want to lose (C drive has 275GB free of 930GB) the largest thing i have to make any kind of backup is a 500GB sata HDD (probably scavenged from a sky box) so i don't think i have the capacity to back up everything.
Is there an easy way? I've just made a W10 bootable dvd (from the media creation tool) with the current version of W10, should i just run this at boot up and do it all from there?
