I am about to upgrade my CPU and Motherboard, from Amd to Intel (Finally) and I was wondering if it's possibly to use the windows key again. I bought Windows 8.1 from amazon, but can i just re use the hard drive (which is also the boot drive) or will i have to wipe it and reinstall window. Also how can i actually wipe the hard drive but still be able to reuse it?

When you install windows again, simply go to the advanced disk settings, remove all partitions, then make a new one (windows will add additional partitions automatically, just make one big one when prompted). After that install and enjoy

Thank you so much for the quick reply.

As for the reformatting, how would I go about doing this?
