[Oliver_16]

I will be getting a new mobo and cpu, ryzen 5 and AM4. I have a separete hdd for OS, but i have all my games and also steam on one hdd and movies and shows on my third hdd.

So if i put my second and third drives onto a new system will i have to erase everything?

Hello... NO... just plug them in after the OS is re-installed and all good... but some games will need to re-installed due to the OS drive will need some of the information too... and also the Network/online security will have to be running/stored on the OS drive. But all Data will be still on the drive as you unplugged... and is in a Wins format for it to be read/saved as you want B )
