move mobo and everything or upgrade

sergio.lopezsevilla · Mar 23, 2018

SO i have a h110m motherbaord msi and i wanted to put an m.2 ssd but theres not a location for one and a regular ssd theres no space for it in my case other than to put velcro on it and stick it somewhere on the case so if i buy a new motherbaord and put everything on there like hdd and gpu and stuff will i need to get windows again sense i heard the os is on the motherboard not the drives or is it better to just get another bigger case and move the motherboard which option is best or any better recomnedations?

easiest would be just to get a bigger case

because yes, if you change mobos you need to re-install windows

For a 2.5" SSD< you can use sticky velcro, and put it anywhere.
As long as you have a spare SATA port on the motherboard, it will work.

"m.2" is a whole different thing. And requires a new motherboard.

i heard the os is on the motherboard not the drives

Whoever told you this...do not listen to that person ever again.
The OS is NOT 'on the motherboard'.
It exists on one of your drives.

maybe he meant the installation is "tied" to the mobo?

and misunderstood the guy?

Maybe.
I just go by what I read.

so ur saying that the os is on one of my hdd and that i should just get a new mobo and bigger case and get an ssd and move the os on there

The OS exists on one of your current drives.

However, moving to a new motherboard is not a trivial decision. Especially if the only reason it for an "m.2 SSD".
