Hello
I will buy new mobo cpu and ram.
Currently I have an old mobo I don't remember it's name , AMD 4200+ for cpu and 1x4GB DDR2 Ram Kingston 677Mhz I think
So I will buy for mobo : GA H110M S2H for cpu : i5 6500 and for Ram : 4GB 2133Mhz Hyper X
So at this moment I got windows 10 iso in a folder... the question is that if I install the new parts and try to start my pc will it boot with my current windows ? will I be able to run the setup.exe from windows 10 iso to do the format?
I know that I can do the format from a usb stick but I am not asking something like that.
I forgot to say I will keep the same GPU : Saphirre R7 260X OC 2GB
 
You need a new licence. New Motherboard/CPU counts as new PC to Microsoft

All the new parts are so different to what you had that win 10 not likely to boot well from current install. You would need to do a fresh install and could use that ISO but will need a new licence as win will deactivate itself otherwise.

your current win 10 is a lifetime install on current PC< its not a life time install for you.
 


Yeah I know that I am gonna buy a new licence but will I be able to run the setup in order to do the format?
It is going to be a clean installation because the setup is asking u if u want to delete everything or not.
Also I download the setup from Microsoft when windows 10 were available for download!
 


rly thanks for your help appreciate it!
