Upgrading all components except my SSD???

[jgskpx0389]

hey guys since tomorrow is black friday and all and my computer being 4 years old I"m thinking of upgrading my computer components except my SSD which is Samsung 840 EVO? i think(I only use this as my primary storage; OS is installed here too as well without no other storage) storage is the only one I upgraded because harddrive felt just so slow

if I upgrade everything else like motherboard, graphics card, cpu, ram but use my CURRENT SSD will I be able to just boot up the computer without all those complicated first time setup stuff? like you know, do i have to install my OS again? would my video, audio files be gone? or would it just boot up like how it does now

I have Win7 home premium, intel cpu 2500k?, 16g ram, gtx 680, and asus motherboard i don't remember exactly what model but it's the one that came out when 2500k first came out with B3 revision or something

If you stay with an Intel platform and an Asus board, there's a chance the difference between the old and new system will be slight enough that you may be able to boot to Win7. If you get that lucky, Win7 will install some default drivers and have you reboot. Then install the new MB drivers, and run something like CCleaner (registry and clean sections) to clean up the mess that will be left of your Registry. Then have Win Update find any new updates for the new system.

But chances are, you'll need to (and should) do a clean install. You may have to reinstall all your pgms anyway. And (if win7 is an OEM) once M$ sees the "new" PC, it will want you to re-activate, thinking you are using a one-time OEM license on another machine.

And here's some tweaks to get the most out of the SSD, keep it from writing itself to an early death, and save some space on it.
