Hello, I heard I need to fresh install windows 10 if I'm getting a new mobo. Which I'm perfectly fine doing. But how? Because don't I need a new key to reinstall windows? If not how do I put windows 10 on a USB and reinstall it onto the pc? Could you also explain how the whole Windows key thing works?

 

PS: I didn't upgrade I got it from a disc...

In your post... Do I start to follow the blue text after you start talking about windows 10 and ignore buying that 110 dollar program?

Well, if you haven't bought Windows then you need to purchase it.  And if you have purchased it, then well...  you've done purchased it.

(just a heads up I'm not that good with windows and transferring stuff) so I already have a copy of it on disc. So should I click that link (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12435/windows-10-upgrade-faq) you have and follow windows FaQ from there? Or do I just keep on following your instructions?

Hold on man sorry about my messiness. Would this link work too? http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/software/operating-systems/1401617/how-to-clean-install-windows-10-and-create-boot-media   because to me it just makes a tiny more bit of sense

My guide is laid down perfectly.  If you cant follow the guide you might consider having someone else do it for you.

Okay I get it now. But one thing I'm quoting from your guide but what does this mean? What are Sata Drivers?
