So I've just sold my old hardware apart from hard drives and ssd and have the new stuff on the way.
My old pc was a i7 4790 and 16gb ddr3 ram, GA-H81m-s2h mobo
My new setup will be Ryzen 5 3600x, Msi x370 mobo and16gb 3000mhz DDR4 Ram.
Both will be using a gtx 1060 6gb which I plan to upgrade in the new year.
I know when I boot my pc for the first time I should fresh install Windows, but I don't want to lose my files and games etc.
Can I keep my old hard drive as it is, connect my new ssd and install Windows 10 from an iso on a USB I have onto that ssd as a boot drive. Will the files on the old hard drive cause errors?
I really really don't want to wipe that old drive and reinstall my games, that's days and days of downloads.
I've changed Processor and ram before, but never a new motherboard
