I have a several questions here because they are related to installing a new mobo, CPU, and RAM. Sorry, but I didn't want to submit several threads. My guess is no on this, but when I have a new mobo, can I install a Windows 7 upgrade without having to do a clean install? Do I need to do anything to the BIOS before or after the Windows install to ensure proper support of the CPU? If so, what should I do to it and before or after and do I need to do it within the BIOS screen before booting or do I need to do it in Windows? Is the best place to get a BIOS update at the manufacturer's website and how do I know which one to get? Even if I don't need to initially update or install something related to the BIOS, I would still like to know how I find the BIOS update that I need for future reference. I am installing a Phenom II X6 1090T BE, Biostar TA785G3 Motherboard, and 4 GB of OCZ 1333 MHz RAM. The reason that I am confused about the BIOS is that I have heard that putting in a new CPU will require updating the BIOS in some cases and I don't know if installing a brand new motherboard will negate the need for a BIOS update. Is updating and flashing meaning the same thing? Are there any drivers at all that need to be installed before the Windows install? I would really appreciate a response and also responses confirming what has been stated in those responses as well. Thanks in advance!
