Replacing My Motherboard, Do I Need Anything Else>

[stl522013]

Ok, so I am swapping out my motherboard from a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 to an ASRock Fatal1ty. I have the motherboard, thermal paste, a Copy of Windows 10 on a flash drive and a key to go with it. I know how to assemble it, but what do I need to know after I have everything hooked up? And do I need to backup data or should I be fine? Thanks.

Obviously since you intend to reinstall Windows you'll need to back up anything you don't want erased.

Otherwise, you're good to go.

Am I able to not re-install Windows?

Well, with a motherboard switch you will need to reinstall Windows.
