Hi everyone, I am considering purchasing a copy of Windows 10 for my trusty desktop, and I want to know if anyone has upgraded with this particular board. (Not clean install) First a small history then system specs.
I used to run an asrock z77 extreme4 and tried the free upgrade and it took my licence from my copy of Windows 7 fine, but had stability issues and I rolled back the update since asrock doesn't support Win10 for that old board. Didn't want to build a whole new system but dreading the end of life for Win7. Did small amount of research on the listed board and purchased one and got it installed, finally got LAN drivers, and fixed the "this copy not genuine" issue. I tried the free update again but now it does not take my Licence code so I think I will have to purchase a copy. Note: I have never formatted or reinstalled Windows on this system since I built it like 8 years ago. I welcome all thoughts but really want to know has anyone had a good upgrade experience.
Windows 7 Home 64 bit
ASUS P8H77-V LE bios version 0608
Crucial MX100 512 GB SSD (OS)
Some 3TB storage drive I forget the model.
Intel Core I7-3770 3.4ghz
Ripjaws 4x4gb DDR3 1333
Saphire Radeon RX 580 8GB DDR5 (updated, just got this in the mail)
Cooler Master 850 W PSU
