  1. boot from original window s 10 HDD using a new motherboard and cpu


    Currently running Win 10Pro, on an older motherboard/cpu that don't support windows 11. Can I just boot from the existing HDD Win 10 Pro, with the new motherboard & cpu? I want to avoid having to do rescue disk, and re-install Win 10, and all the applications.So, if this will work, will I then be able to upgrade to windows 11, from the windows 10 pro?

    :)

  3. Windows 10 BSOD after upgrading cpu

    I hope you checked the compatibility list of supported processors from the motherboard maker.

    Inaccessible boot device simply means the computer cannot find the necessary files after Boot. As you said you have a spare HDD, I would suggest to put in the new CPU and do a clean Install on it. If that works, then again you would have to do a clean install
    on the primary hdd.

  4. boot from original window s 10 HDD using a new motherboard and cpu

    New motherboard, new windows 10?

    Do I need to get a new version of windows 10 if I'm upgrading to a new motherboard + CPU but still using the same HDD/SSD which will have windows 10 installed on it?

    Also when changing my CPU and motherboard will I need to mess around with the BIOS for anything? I'd be happily surprised if it was literally plug and play.
