I currently have a 1150 motherboard and a 4790k, im looking at upgrading my CPU and motherboard to an 8600k 1151. I currently have windows 10 installed on my SSD along with all my other games/files on my HDD. Will i have to format both drives and reinstall windows or can i just wipe my SSD and keep the files on my HDD? help

Read and do this before you change any parts:

For the reinstall, disconnect all other drives.
Reconnect it after the install is done.
