Oh btw, maybe i know sonething you didnt wich will help you out with future support questions.

Regarding the Windows10 License, ive read that if you connect your License with a Microsoft Account, Hardware changes shouldnt be a Problem.

Just in case you didnt hear about that :)


Windows licensing is tied to the mother board. If that changes, you'll need to call their 800 number to establish it again. I have a Microsoft account too, which makes no difference.

You'll see...

Don't install Windows on your old system, wait until the new one is assembled. There is zero in common between the two systems with the basic drivers for each board. Even if you don't install any drivers at all, Windows still uses its own built in stuff, which includes some AMD drivers.

If you have any problems after installing Window again on the old system, and move it to the new one, you won't know if it is from installing it on the AMD system, or something with the new one.

You really should format the OS disk so everything is removed before installing Windows again. You also only want to have the OS disk running when you install Windows on the new system.

If you installed Windows on the old system with another drive running, Windows will put the boot/system partition on the other drive. If you move that drive to the new system, you'll then have two boot/system partitions in the PC, which will be confusing with strange results.
