First post here. I hope to do good. My thanks in advance for your time.
I need some help guys...
Recently i was luck enough to preorder a gigabyte 3080 aorus xtreme. And here comes trouble...
Some time ago (before entering to the pcmasterrace) i made the mistake of buying an hp omen premade. I've been updating the build with a better aio and a bigger case in order to build something cool with the new gpus. That time has come and now i need to change the motherboard. Actually i have the one that came with the omen (which is a micro atx called shire https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c06218422) I'm absolutly sure there's no way to install the xtreme 3080 on it. I have like a thousand slots free in the case but due to the size of the motherboard if I connect the new gpu i won't be able to power the audio connector neither the 24-pin connector.
These are the specs of my actual build
Morherboard: Shire micro atx z390 LGA1151 https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c06218422
i7 9700K
gpu: incoming
ram: HyperX 2x16 GB
ssd: 2xPCIe NVMe TLC M.2 de 512 GB
aio: kraken z63
case: NZXT H710i
I know the cpu is the old gen but i'll keep it for a couple of years. So the new motherboard should be a z390 (in order to be compatible with the LGA1151). Every recommendation of a mb would be appreciated.
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- I don't think everything is as easy as pug the new mb and play so... Which steps should i do before changing the motherboard? Do i need to format all the pc? I've been reading about oem licenses of windows and stuff related. No worries about losing the actual license.
- In the actual build, even i have two differents ssd, it came combined which is a pretty thing. Is there any way to keep it like that or at least to make them one again?
- (All info about upgrading the bios of motherboards will be really appreciated.
