What do I do after receiving my motherboard after RMA?

[Naveen117]

Hi. I just got my Z97 Gaming 5 back from Gigabyte after I sent it in for repairs. They did not replace the board but just fixed it. Is there anything I have to do when putting my system back together? Will I need a bootable USB or something or will it recognize that windows is already their on my HDD that was originally connected to it?

Hi, I suggest testing the board outside the case firstly, only CPU, CPU fan and single RAM module installed.
If the HDD does work, then no need to reinstall Windows.

It should be plug and play..
