Hey, as the title says, I'm gonna upgrade my system to 8700k soon and I would like to keep my Win10 untouched.
Does Win10 support that? I want to simply upgrade the hardware without the need or re-installation of anything.

It might work, it might fail horribly.
Win 10 is a bit better than previous, but zero guarantee.

Be prepared for a full reinstall.

Also, Read and do this before you change any parts:
