Windows 10: Reinstalling windows after motherboard and cpu change with a usb.

I have just did a motherboard and cpu change and I'm trying to reinstall windows on my ssd. I want to do a full format of the drive and do a full new reinstall but as I boot up with the usb the screen wont go past the windows symbol page. The dots do appear at the bottom of the screen like they supposed to . The screen just stays stuck on the windows symbol page.

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.

 

Change motherboards without reinstalling Windows 7!

it is quite possible. i've done it dozens of times.


I dont really recommend it however, better to have a fresh install of windows so you dont get all sorts of leftover junk (old drivers etc)

 

Changing my MOBO and CPU a

You will have to buy windows license if you change the motherboard, unless you made the computer originally in the first place, or bought a license key.
