Hi guys last week I accidentally turned my pc off and on in quick succession which has led to my motherboard dying. My mobo was a ga-ma770t-ud3p. I have since ordered a new one 970a-dsp3. Which arrives tomorrow.
I would just like to be advised on the procedures I should take to ensure I keep all my data from my hard drive.
Whilst shopping for a new mobo I gota bit eexcited and just did pretty much a full pc upgrade. Which includes a ssd,
My question on this is, could I just install Windows on my New ssd and browse my old hard drive to retrieve my important files. After I've set my computer up with its new components, or might I be able to start Windows normal with my new mobo and old components and store anything I need on an external hard drive? The 2 mobos are same sockets so that might be a possibility. I'm just thinking there may be some conflict which might prevent me from starting Windows as normal.
Cheers guys
