    New Motherboard Clean Install Y/N


    Running Windows 10 Pro Build 10166

    Got a new Motherboard coming this week to upgrade my system the Motherboard is the only thing i am changing.

    Would you do a clean install using an ISO or use the Recovery option in Windows 10 to do a clean install or just power it up and let the system do it's thing update drivers ect for the Motherboard?

    :)

    Windows 10 not loading after most recent update and looping splash screen

    I had to use 3rd Party tools in order to get a bootable USB because the Microsoft tools are abysmal. I have Windows 10 on a flash drive now.

    I have done all the things suggested and it has come back as successful on all of them except boorec /RebuildBcd - This comes back with:

    Total identifiied Windoes installations: 2

    [1] C:\Windows

    Add Installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A) :Y

    [2] C:\Windows.old\WINDOWS

    Add Installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A) :N

    The requested system device cannot be found.

    All combinations of Y and N result in the same error message. What now?

    I just did a motherboard swap and I was lucky I guess. The PC just booted up into the existing OS(Win10) with out a re-install..

    How?? No clue..
