New system advice

Hi, ive recently upgraded all of my hardware except for my one single hard drive which is also my boot drive,i swapped my mobo and was wondering if i need to do anything in terms of drivers/ bios setting or anything like that before i can start gaming? thanks.

Clean Install of Windows

Install all relevant drivers

Those two things will usually yield good results.

It's your choice obviously, but the steps I gave you are generally the best steps to follow.

It may work without it, it may not. It might work for a while and then you might have issues.

Again, your choice to try it anyway you want.

Would there be any way to wipe my current hard drive to only have windows or would i have to wipe it all and purchase a new copy of windows 10?

If you've tied your W10 to a Microsoft account you don't have to buy another copy. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-re-activate-windows-10-after-hardware-change
