I'm having some trouble understanding how I should go about upgrading my AMD CPU and motherboard to Intel. I've searched for a guide quite a bit on Google, but I can't seem to find anything. I know that the parts I'm getting are compatible, and I have a new copy of Windows 8.1 so I can do a clean install (my computer came with an unlocked version of Windows 8.1 with no product key or disc). My question is in what order do I perform the installation steps? I'm guessing that it goes like this: back up files, turn off PC, install motherboard and CPU, turn back on and boot with my Windows 8.1 disc. Is that correct? Thanks.
