So I want to buy a new motherboard (Asus strix 270e) and use all the hardware on my old pc except for the gpu (going to replace my geforce 980 with Asus strix 1080Ti oc edition). Yes all the parts on my old pc can work with my new motherboard, but what I'm confused about is whether I can put my old ssd and old hdd into the new motherboard and still have everything that was stored in the drives, including windows 10, into my new build!

I appreciate any help I can get! :D

You install Windows..

Lol but how would I do that, please be more specific.

Do I need to delete windows 10 on my SSD then download it again on my new Motherboard with a flash drive?

Where do I get the files to reinstall windows?

ect.

99% of the time this will work perfectly fine... But you do get the odd time it fails and wont boot with the new motherboard and in that case the only option you have is to start fresh (reinstall Windows).

Can you please explain to me on how I would have to reinstall Windows 10?
