Hoping to upgrade older system
I was intending to upgrade everything at once to get myself a new system, but now I'm thinking maybe I could do it in "bytes".
My current system a very old Gigabyte EP45-UD3R motherboard with a Core 2 Dou Wolfdale E8400 3Ghz processor using DDR2 memory, and a 250Gb SSD. I wanted to temporarily wait on the Ram until I'm up and running, but I imagine the newer motherboard would not be backward compatible with the older RAM? (Yes I understand that this is almost a new system save for the old case power supply and video card). Just was hoping to do it instages.
I'm wondering how windows activation will react to a new mother board, processor and ram?
My current system does not have the TPI module nor the UEFI so I don't know what to expect on bootup.
I was hoping that after this upgrade I would be offered the free copy of Windows 11.
Lastly I have the issue of the failing to install security update KB5034441. I don't think that would resolve itself with an update to Windows 11. If not is there a way to install the new Windows 11 if offered to a second SSD or an internal M type card?
Currently running Windows 10, 22H2 OS Build 19045.4239
Lot of question here!
