So yet again I'm looking at upgrading my CPU because AMD is just no. I'm completely fine with the hardware but the problem is Windows, I'm currently using an OEM version of Windows 8.1 and from what I know OEM is tied to the motherboard so I'll probably have to buy a new copy since I'm switching out the Mobo.
I'll try to sum up the problem as easily and understandable as possible; I basically want to upgrade my CPU, Mobo and install windows (if I need to) yet have my pc boot into the desktop as if I changed nothing at all, however I don't know how to go about this since I've never upgraded windows or installed a fresh copy. I really need help about what I'm supposed to do to achieve this since I really don't want to have to re-install everything I have (would probably take me a year due to bandwidth restrictions)
I'm quite horrible at explaining things but hopefully someone understands since I don't want to go into this blind and mess everything up.
Thanks in advance,
Liam.
