Windows 10 and a MB and CPU and RAM upgrade
#1
Hi folks, been awhile hasn't it?
Been lurking since all the hububadrama but glad to see Suprbay is back...
And I have a question; looking for an answer and or opinion.. I am about to get a major hardware up grade tomorrow ( a MB and CPU and RAM on the heavy side of gaming) and I have windows 10 as u may have guessed but no handy cd to install it from in case I need to.. Will windows 10 throw a fit when I swap out the hardware tomorrow and give me the unholy blue screen or will it just hiccup and - restart and all will be well?
I have no clue Ive never done it with windows 10, I  did it with Xp and 7.0 with some very bad and inconvenient results.. I cant go back to windows 8.1 it is past the 30 days. I'm tempted to just reinstall a clean version of 8.1 and let windows 10 re infest my pc again... But all the updating upgrading and downloading and restarts and blah blah waaaa. I just wanna play with my new toys!!


I have a feeling I should prepare a clean partition for win 8.1 again.. I think I am asking is there no easy way around this?

So where did everybody go, anyway?

So how it went?

Since the operating system is located on the Hard Drive, swapping out old hardware for new isn't going to cause problems.
Only a few cache items will be lost and nothing else.

Correct me if I am wrong, MS OSes are alright with HDD upgrade, CPU upgrade and the usual RAM upgrade but in my experience and google searches shows that Windows will give most likely give you the usual BSOD when u change the MB. But there were instances when it didnt show, but that's very rare.
