Hey guys,
So before I start I should say that about a year ago I upgraded my MOBO and as far as I know, if I re-format the drive that the OS is installed on I'll have to re-install windows. And I'm not sure I'll be able to do that because windows OS is tied to only one MOBO, correct?
I have a 120 GB SSD that has my OS installed and then a 1TB I use for pictures, music, programs ect. Now is it necessary that I re-format before I sell? Or can I just delete personal info without re-formatting?
Here's my full parts list if any one is curious:
i5 4690k
Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB
Samsung 850 Evo 120GB SSD
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD
Western Digital 1TB HD
MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB
Cooler Master Storm Stryker Case
EVGA SuperNova G2 850W 80+ Gold
ASUS DVD Drive
Windows 10
All held together by the gorgeous Storm Stryker
