Windows 10: Booting windows on a new mainboard and CPU

Hey guys,

alright so I kinda upgraded my PC, that means new motherboard, RAM and CPU but kept my old HDD with my old windows 10 already on it. Now I'm trying to start windows, install the drivers and everything but when starting the PC I always get sucked into the BIOS setup "msi click BIOS 5". But like MSI says in the setup manual, I'm supposed to install Windows first and then install the drivers for the motherboard. So what do I have to do to access the already existing Windows on my HDD instead of entering the BIOS everytime?

MSI MAG b550 Tomahawk

When starting the BIOS:

Press <Del> to run BIOS setup or <F11> to run boot menu, Press Control + F5 to activate M-Flash for BIOS Update

upgrading mainboard and CPU

This question is probably asked before, but I cannot find it.

I want to upgrade the mainboard and CPU and wonder if I can activate the Windows 10, which I used with the old mainboard, on the new mainboard/CPU?

I should add that the the Windows 10 running on the old motherboard was a free upgrade from a retail Windows 7 Home Premium. I still have the original Win 7 DVD with the product key.

 

Activate windows after new Mainboard+CPU

Hello Microsoft community,

i recently installed a new mainboard and CPU and soon i got asked to activate windows by the annoying notification in the bottom right.

now i bought a retail key which is supposed to be re-activatable but it wont let me for some reason use it anymore.

as i learned the Key is bound to hardware but im obviously not gonna revert to my old cpu+mb is there anything i can do except for buying a new key?

thanks in advance, regards

 

INCORRECT CPU FREQUENCY READING

Hello Muhammad,

CPU usage depends on the applications that are open to your device. To isolate the problem, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

• Can you include a screenshot of the CPU reading?
• Have you tried performing a
  clean boot to eliminate software conflicts?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Looking forward to your response.
