Should I deactivate windows when install new components?

Shaneoh · Feb 18, 2014

So I got a new mobo and cpu and psu, should I deactivate windows before installing?

No 'deactivation' needed.

Save all your critical stuff elsewhere and offline.
Boot from the Windows install DVD.
Install.

Why would I need to boot from a install dvd?

New motherboard and new CPU means you really need to reinstall the OS.
Just plugging that in with the old OS installation is not likely to work.

What did you mean by 'deactivating'?
