    New motherboard: reinstall windows without loosing data?


    Hi everyone,I purchased a new motherboard and cpu. After I stalling and connecting everything back together, my PC was only booting on the BIOS, despite detecting my drives.I disconnected them all, and only connecting the one which has windows, but the same happens.I contacted the motherboard manufacturer who told me I have to reinstall windows.I have absolutely no idea how to do that.I guess I have to reconnect my old motherboard and back up the data of the main SSD which has windows installed on it?and then create a USB stick which has windows on it and boot on it to reinstall windows?By doi

    :)

    Reinstall Windows?

    You don't need to reinstall windows. Go to the device manager and remove uninstall the processor and motherboard drivers listed. When you start the system back up you should be able to re-install the new ones. I just changed my mobo/processor Friday, everything is fine.

    BTW I have seen some reviews that state practically no difference in using more than 2gb of ram.

    Create new folder on desktop when right click new does not work

    You can perform step 3 without loosing any programs or Data. If you do not use Macrium Reflect, download it and make an image of your drive before doing anything.
