    New motherboard installation, how to set up Windows 10?


    Howdy,

    as mentioned I want to install a new mainboard (including new CPU + RAM).

    I imagined this to be relatively unproblematic, software-wise I would only have to update the drivers according to my knowledge, right?

    Now I have read more and more that a complete Win10 reinstallation is necessary.

    But I have absolutely no desire to do so and do not quite understand the meaning behind it.

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
