[SOLVED] What do I do after switching hardware without linking windows 10 to Microsoft account?

[Changster101]

So I just switched my motherboard, cpu, and gpu and I’m just now figuring out that I forgot to backup my hard drive and the process of linking my windows to my Microsoft account. So what do I do? I would like to save my personal files on my hard drive.

It will likely boot with the new hardware. Try and see. If it works move your stuff to another drive and then wipe it and reinstall everything.
