New build problem

[svance76]

Hello all,

I just upgraded my rig and am having a very long boot time. I cant for the life of me figure out why. I upgraded from a i5 6600k, Asus Strix z290e gaming motherboard. The new parts are a i7 9700k, Asus Maximus XI hero (WiFi), and a new GPU which is a Asus ROG Strix rtx 2070 OC. I did not use a new boot drive, which is a Samsung SSD m.2 960 evo, I just took it off the old board and put it on the new board after I posted and went into the bios to set a few things. I powered off then put the ssd on the new board. Also I had to put the GPU in the second pci slot due to a shorter than I thought pci extension cable. I made a custom desk and inlay-ed the computer parts under glass in my desk and measured wrong. On the new motherboard is the second pci slot x16 or x8? any advise would be appreciated.

I did not reinstall windows, though i would love to have a fresh install of windows i have too much that I would have to redown load and install. If I absolutely have to I will do a freash install. I have have to call microsoft and get a new product key code cause windows would not activate on the new hardware.

quick boot is enabled, I think by default.

ive only seen quick boot enabled by deafult like twice in my life as a repairman XD and ya can just signin with your microsoft account and link it to it for activation and use that to activate windows. then signout ?

I went to go check in the bios and it was already set to enable on the quick boot. I did try the sign in to my microsoft account to relink for activation, it kept giving me "we cant activate windows right now, try again later. with an error code". which is why I called Microsoft. Windows is not the problem and has been activated.

Look sometimes windows just act funny when ya switch hardware and only fixes after a reinstall. i cant explain why, but if ya have a spare drive, ya might as well trey it and see if it helps, eh?
for an example. recently i switched just the motherboard and i have ONE game from the microsoft store and felt like playing it again after motherboard swap. WELL i couldnt sign into my microsoft account. i tried doing a offlien and online dcim check (ie checking windows file system integrity) nothing. i tried changing passwords, resetting dns cache, etc etc. anything i could think of. I reinstalled windows and what do ya know, it worked and i could sign in and funny little glitches i noticed at times went away right away.
Another good example would be a video Demitri did from switching from a intel based system to a threadripper one (or was it ryzen? cant remember, which i know numa/mesh core clusters and all that being different then intels way/a ring bus and such.still tho)
he reinstalled windows and it fixed a lot of his issues, sometimes it just weird like that. i lack the capacity to explain why thoroughly or know why exactly. but hey thats all i got captain, GL!
