Current system is aging AMD 8350 CPU and I have just ordered Gigabyte X570 MB, a Ryzen 2nd gen 3300x, 2x8gb DDR4 3600mhz and a M.2 2080 256gb.
I have a retail version of Win 10 which came with its own pen drive, on my old system so I understand that I can install on the new MB using the M.2 solely as the boot drive.
Question is:
Do I need to cancel my OS with MS on the old system before the upgrade?
Do I need to erase the OS from the old 2tb HDD before I plug it into the new board? (without loosing my other files)
Is this going to be a headache?
Is there a guide that could hold my hand?
o7 thanks all
