    Computer is getting a BSOD very often and I've reloaded from scratch already. Seems to be hardware related. If I buy a new CPU, RAM and motherboard but keep my storage devices, keyboard, mouse and monitor, do I have to buy a new Windows license or will the old one work?

    :)

  2. Storage Spaces - How to upgrade motherboard/CPU/RAM

    Yes. I have Windows 10 on a separate 500GB SSD. There is nothing on that drive except the OS, and it isn't part of the storage space. My plan is literally to unplug the drives, install the new components (motherboard, CPU, RAM) and then plug the drives
    back in. So I should be good to go? Windows will recognize the new components and the storage space without damaging the files?

  3. Storage Spaces - How to upgrade motherboard/CPU/RAM

    I want to upgrade my 6 year old Motherboard/CPU/RAM/etc but I have 32TB (4 separate 8TB mechanical drives) setup in full backup in a Storage Space using Windows 10. How do make sure I don't lose all my data when I upgrade the Motherboard/CPU/etc? These
    are precious family videos, pictures etc. Can I just unplug the 4 different 8TB mechanical drives, then do the upgrade of the Motherboard/CPU/etc, then plug the 4 different 8TB mechanical drives back in? Is Windows 10 setup to recognize the pre-existing
    storage space? PLEASE HELP! My system is getting so slow b/c of the old components!!!!!

    Thank you!
