    I currently have a 256gb sata ssd with windows 11 pro boost drive, 1tb hdd with files that i can put in a usb and a m.2 ssd with games. I currently have a new motherboard coming and it says it has windows 10 on the motherboard description and i was wondering if me putting my windows 11 pro boot drive into this motherboard will break something and i am confused what to do, if there is certain steps i need to do to wipe the drive to be able to put it in the motherboard i can do it i already have all my important files on a usb stick. Thankyou

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Installing Windows 10 on a New SSD for a New PC

    Hi Jordan, no you don't have to set Windows on a hard drive, Windows 10 will run from an SSD or an HDD

    Is the SSD Plugged into the lowest number SATA port on your Motherboard?

    In your BIOS is SATA MODE set to AHCI

    Is the SSD now top of the Boot order list?
