Hey guys, yesterday i found out i have to change my motheboard and becouse my CPU is really old i have to change everything (mobo,cpu,ram). So i was wondering, when i replace everything and connect my GPU, PSU and Hard Disc can i just continue using my pc like before, like just turn it on and like nothing changed or do i have to go through instaling and adapting new motherboard and cpu and stuff ? Never did this before and i have no idea how it goes or how it is supposed to be done.

At a bare, bare minimum you should remove older chipset drivers etc, and reinstall for the new motherboard - but there's no guarantee of smooth operation.
A clean OS install (and a new license) is highly, highly recommended in this situation.
