Upgrading Motherboard - Want To Avoid Reinstalling Windows 7
Hey there,
I was wondering if you could help me.
I am going to be in the process of upgrading my motherboard as well as my CPU and GPU, However I've only just seen that you need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Is there an option to not have to clean install? There's a lot of settings and programs that I don't want to have to reset and reinstall.
Below are the specifications of my upgrade.
Motherboard: Asus Rampage II Extreme ---> Asus X99 Deluxe
CPU: i7 920 ---> i7 5820k
GPU: Gainward GTX260 Golden Sample ---> MSI GTX970 100ME
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks folks.
