quick question about a new mobo

hobib_ali · 30 Nov 2015 at 20:27

Ok ive decided to get a MSI X99 GODLIKE MOBO

the thing is, if I install this new mobo, take my x99 gigabyte G5P out and connect everything as it is, the SSD CPU GPU RAM ECT

Will I have to install a fresh windows 10?

Or can I boot in the existing windows 10 operating system on the existing SSD without having re-install windows from scratch?

I upgraded from 7 to 10 and reinstalling 7 plus service pack 1, upgrading to 10 is a nightmare..

The godlike has enought pcie slots to take 2 ZOTACS 980TI AMP EXTREMES nad have spare pcie slots left over for sound/wifi cards ect...

I just upgraded my system and did not need to reinstall, I had to chat to Microsoft to get my copy reactivated, I also did this with my older Win 8 install.

But install any drivers that may not be needed and deactivate ITunes.

I did need to though update to the latest build which kept everything in place.

Same chipset so cant see it being a big problem. I recently moved from Z87 to X99, had to do a reinstall of windows 7. Thankfully a retail version which I've used on 4 different boards now.
