I bought a prebuilt PC a year ago, and I am ready for an upgrade. I am putting in a new mobo that will work with my CPU and I am also changing out the video card. I asked some people at the local micro center, and they said I may have to reformat my HDD. I do not have a disk for my OS because it came on the system, and I will probably end up reformatting my drive so I think I will lose the install of windows that I have.
1. Do I still technically have claim to a license of windows?
2. What will the steps look like once I hit the power button on the newly reconstructed computer?
This is my first time doing any major computer construction so I am hesitant to advance until I have ensured that I am not creating a 1200 dollar brick.
current parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LBmsrH (the graphics card is changed to a version of the card I want)
parts im adding: ASrock z77 extreme 4 mobo
Thermalta Versa H22 SE BLK MT Case
MSI GTX960oc 2gb PCIE Vcard
Thanks, first post so tell me if I did anything wrong or left anything out.
