windows 10, upgrading the cpu, motherboard, and ram.

[jareckmercer]

I've heard online that you can uninstall certain drivers on windows 10 to be able to keep all of your files when upgrading parts. I am fairly confident that I will be able to reactivate windows once the upgrade is complete as I have already setup my windows 10 with my microsoft account. I am just looking for an answer on what to do before the upgrade. If worst comes to worst i have an extra copy of windows 7 but I have come to like the stability of windows 10 and I would again very much prefer to keep all of my files. Thanks.

1) move files to a USB or external drive or something

2) change hardware

3) clean install windows

4) move files back

5) done

thats a no go, the only drive i have is the 2Tb drive on this computer currently, it is pretty much full and i don't have the money remaining to purchase another drive to copy files.
