Question Widows 10 keeps freezing on me after installing new MOBO

[HottoDogu]

So I got a new motherboard because my old one could not fit a 8th gen int cpu. After I got everything all plunged in, it srtarted up fine, but when i got into the widown login page where you have to move the clock out of the way , it freezes. Sometimes i get type a single number in, but after that, it freezes. I don,t know what to do past factory resenting my pc.
I have also tried the windows repair.
Everything works fine in the bios as well.
It only freezes while logging into windows.

my specs are
cpu: Intel i7 8700k
mobo: msi mpg z390
ram: pny anarchy 2 sticks of 8gb
gpu: msi rx480
PSU: 850w corseair

no, same widows i was running on my old mobo

It might help to do a fresh install , it's recommended when switching boards , unless they are identical.

i see, Would you recommend just factory resting it compleatly, or booting form a disk Because I don't have a widows 10 disk, But i do have a widows 8 disk with an old code.

Is your PC liked to a microsoft account right now?

Yes it is. That's how i got windows when they made it so you have to pay for it, i just used my old widows 8 code to get 10, but i don't know if that would work again without calling microsoft. But that is an option

Make that phone call, unless you want to go through the hassle of installing 8 then upgrading it to 10.
You can always go to windows website and try and download windows 10 with the code you already have - it may work... it may not - nothing to lose!

I feel you, what im trying now is installing windows on a flash drive, and booting off of my flash drive. Hoping that the code works.

You can check the code this second by going to MS website
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
It asks for a legit code before you download it

So far this is what I have know i have to do. Create an iso file for Rufus to boot widows 10 from a flashdrive. the media creation tool was givng and error where it could not find the activation key. So rufus is my next idea. I tried to go the windows 8 then upgrade to 10, but because i need drives for my ethernet port to work, and i cant install without internet, i just have to go the long way of rufus.
Any other ideas?
