Hey guys,

I'm going to be upgrading my FX 8320 and rog mobo to a Intel 4790k and z97 mobo, can i do this without re-installing windows?

I will remove all chip set drivers etc before hand

Thanks

So how do I de-activate it, so i can then re-activate it with the new mobo?

Sweet, that's good to know, I suppose a clean install would be better tho
