Replacing Motherboard Questions
I'm replacing/upgrading my motherboard and have some questions about it. Right now I'm still on W10 1511 and want to do a clean install of the AU 1607 when I'm replacing the MB. The new motherboard is UEFI capable, and I want my clean install of W10 to be UEFI. My present MB was before UEFI so I'll need to set up my SSD as GPT too.
Would it be better to wipe the SSD, or do I even need to do that? If the answer is yes I will do that before I replace the MB while I still have an installed OS to work with.
Or can I install W10 after replacing the MB, and have it take care of the SSD as far as wiping the existing partitions and setting it up as GPT?
I've moved everything I might want to save to another partition on a separate internal back up drive, there's not too much, less than 70G total on my C including the OS.
TIA for any responses :)
