Hi guys
I'm wondering if you can advise the best method of replacing my motherboard whilst protecting the reserved copy of windows 10 i have.
I'm currently using Windows 7 with an Asus P8B75-M LE (i5-3570k, running at stock). I have reserved a free upgrade to Windows 10 - it just needs installing. I am upgrading the mobo to an Asus Z77 Sabertooth.
As i was planning on making the mobo switch, i would like to do a clean install of Windows and start fresh, but my question is, how will this affect my reserved copy of Windows 10? & additionally, what steps in should i take (for example, install windows 10 on the current first on my current build, then make the mobo switch & do a clean install or not install window 10 first and do the fresh install of windows 7?)
Side note, i have an window 7 disc...
Please don't shoot me if this has been discussed already! lol
Thanks in advance
