    Looking for installation advice. OS/Motherboard+CPU.


    So I am getting a new motherboard and cpu in a few days, going from a i5-7500 to a Ryzen 7 3700x, and when I go to format and install windows 10 64 bit home edition, should I disconnect my non-os SSD till the OS is installed and updated? The OS is going on a SSD, while my storage drive is a normal mechanical HDD. Or is it safe to j ust hook them both up before I do it?

    Also for mounting the cpu, should I mount it to the motherboard BEFORE I put the motherboard into the tower? or should I mount the motherboard first in the tower then install the cpu+heatsink? I was going to place the motherboard on top of the box it comes in and mount the cpu/heatsink before putting it in the tower, but what is best do you think?

    As for windows version number it doesn't matter for this post, as it'll be a fresh install and I do not remember exactly what version is on the USB drive I will be using to install it.

    :)

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

    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.
