So my motherboard went out,its in RMA. Will be it okay if I just use the same SSD that has my OS on it or should I reformat it? and how? OS:Windows 8.1 64 bit
 
Solution
If the MB is getting replaced with the exact same one, than the OS on the SSD should work. If it is any other MB, than you will need to reformat the SSD, and reinstall the OS. With a new MB, you will need a new copy of Windows.

Hello... Wait till you get your MB back and give it a try first... in the future when you RMA it's good idea to write the serial # down before sending it in, so you know what they are sending back to you, for conversation/ammo if you encounter future problems with it.
