    Intalling new Motherboard and CPU Considerations


    Hello All


    I'm going to replace my MSI Z170A Gaming m5 and I5 6600K with a MSI B450 Tomahawk with a Ryzen 2700x. My current set up has the Win 10 version Win10 Pro activated with a digital licence linked to my Microsoft account.


    OS drive is a NVME M2 SSD


    Previous attempts to install the new hardware resulted in bootloops, resets during the setup stage and freezes on the motherboard splash screen.


    To check the new hardware works I successfully installed Linux mint without any issues.


    To post this question I replaced the original MB and CPU, windows installed first time.


    Installation is via Windows media creation tool

    BIOS is set to UEFI


    What am doing wrong so that windows does not install with new MB and CPU


    hope you can help

    Chris

    :)

    Upgrading Motherboard and CPU

    I bought a default Lenovo K450 a few years back that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. Well over the past few months I've upgraded the PSU, GPU, and moved too an SSD without much of a hassle since I was using the same motherboard and CPU. Well, I'm moving
    too a whole new upgrade and changing the case, motherboard, CPU, and adding a network card. My question is, once I've changed out all of the parts, will I need to reinstall Windows 8, or can I just install Windows 10 again like normal and follow the steps
    with customer support to establish the legitimacy of my previous Windows OS? I have the OEM and Product Key.
