Hello,
I just recently ordered a new z87-GD65 mobo and a 970. Just planning on upgrading my PC a bit.
The PC I have was given to me as a whole from HP. I'm unsure on the motherboard, but I have a 4770k in it, 8gb ram, 660, 2tb hdd, and windows 8 came already installed on the PC.
My question is, am I going to need to reinstall windows after I change my mobo? Will I need to completely format my HDD? What is the best way to do this? How can I reinstall the windows 8 I have without ever having the disk for windows 8. Am I able to just use the same activation code my PC is currently using?
Thank you.
