Processor upgrade

The process is just as bobkn described.

To avoid problems with the flash, do the following:

Download the 3 files you need, and save them to an easy to find location - Desktop, etc. You will need BIOS version F32, BIOS version F50, and the EC FW update utility.

You will need a blank USB thumb drive (nothing on it). The thumb drive needs to be formatted FAT32 (the standard for most thumb drives), not NTFS.

Step one is to flash to BIOS F32, so copy the F32 BIOS file to the thumb drive. Only the file, not the entire folder if it comes zipped up.

Perform the Flash as directed in the instructions.

When the flash is done, don't forget to do the last step: "Load Optimized Defaults" .

Then Install the EC FW update utility. Always best to restart the PC after the installation.

Then delete the F32 BIOS from the flash drive and copy over the F50 Bios to it.

Then install the F50 BIOS.

And then you are ready to upgrade the processor.

Note: always a good idea, after installing the processor and entering BIOS to check it out, to Load Optimized Defaults again, then Save & Exit.
Make any BIOS customizations after you have tested the system and Windows and all is good.

Changing my MOBO and CPU a

I'm doing PC upgrades and changes entirely for my new mini-itx build.

I'm not sure about how the process would work, but what are the appropriate steps I need to undertake before making my changes?

My personal data and files are backed up to my Onedrive, and have nothing to lose in terms of data.

I have an additional copy of Windows 10 (but would prefer not to use it in-case I do another PC build).

My MOBO and CPU upgrades are polar opposites of my current hardware:

OLD HARDWARE

Intel i5 6500

AsRock Killer MOBO

New Hardware

AMD Ryzen 7 2700x

Asus Strix X-470

This is my first time doing a particular change so guiding steps would be greatly appreciated! Things like how to wipe my hard-drive and reinstall Windows, etc.

Windows 10 (upgraded originally from Win 7 Ult) - Can I upgrade mobo & processor

Dear Windows Community,

quick question for you. Like a lot of others, took advantage of MS upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 (pro) last year on my pc..

Now Mobo, processor and ram are rather old and begging for an upgrade...if I stick to same manufacturer of Mobo...how likely is it, If I did swap out the mobo/processor/ram, that the Win 10 licence would be ok..or would it explode in a mass of complaints
of invalid licence and requiring help from MS to resolve?

As replacing those items will be expensive enough, didn't want the added cost of fouling my win 10 licence as well.
