    Yeah it only has one bios chip, looked it up. Should be a setting in bios to kill all the RGB if you wanted to.

    Flashing bios will for sure kill all saved profiles.

    The Mark2 is only about $100 cheaper than the Apex VI Just saying

    Hey Tommy, do you just move your old system disk to the new machine, and let Windows make adjustments for the drivers, or do you do a clean install?


    I was thinking of running slmgr /upk before taking my current build apart, moving the system disk(M.2) to the new board and seeing of it boots,

    OR...

    The better choice, after running slmgr /upk, then run %windir%System32SysprepSysprep.exe

    Choose ‘Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)’ for ‘System Cleanup Action’, select the check box ‘Generalize’, select ‘Shutdown Options’ as ‘Shutdown’ and click ‘OK’.

    Then let the ‘System Preparation’ tool generalize now the Windows system setup and shutdown.

    Then disassemble this system, build the new one, move the system disk to the new one.

    Boot into Windows and let it now install the default drivers and update the system registry.

    At last it boots finally into Windows and then I need to enter all necessary information as needed at the time of a fresh installation.

    Create a user for the PC, do not put the old user name as it already exists in the system.

    The reason to create a temporary user, is for the purpose of completing the process.

    Then I can log-on with the old user name choosing from the list at the log-on screen.

    Windows now boots to default OOBE first boot desktop where all installed programs are there, also my old user profiles and folders as well.

    Lastly, NOW I can delete the temporary user profile that I have created earlier.

    Nice information Cliff, I copied it for future reference if needed. :)

    Ah Mike, I haven't done it yet.... ever.
    This is what I will try though, from my research, it worked on Win7, but there is always that chance stuff can go south,
    I just have to much software that needs reinstalling and many with licenses(mostly free ones from ShareWareOnSale, so I#m not sure some of it can be reactivated, and would hate to have to wait until I can get it again, as I am pretty impatient

    I talked with Shawn about it, but he is also not sure if it will work
    So I told him when I start to do it, I will create a thread, and make a "Diary" of it, and if it works, he could then make a tutorial on it.

    Ok understood, thanks for the info anyhow.

    But the question is...
    Does it still work on Win10?

    Jay Q JayzTwoCents, just swaps the disks, he said, without the sysprep rigmarole.

    But I feel the sysprep method would be better, as then I wouldn't have any of the drivers from the prior system in there, therefor less a chance of compatibility issues.

    Have you ever done this method Steve?
    RE ALL of the above:

    I just got done talking to @Kari for about an hour, and he informed me that the above method is broken in Windows 10.
    But the good news is, just swapping the disk into the new system is all I'll need to do, without the fancy stuff, here is what he told me to do:

    1.Transfer disk from old to new system build.

    2 .Let Windows update all drivers, check device manager to make sure no X's or bangs, also reinstall any special OEM drivers I may need, as Windows will replace them with generic defaults, like the M.2 driver, Audio, LAN, IRST, ME and so on.

    3. Lastly- Run the activation trouble shooter.

    Thanks Kari:)

    You are welcome.

    The Sysprep method to make Windows installation hardware independent to be moved to another hardware setup is not broken per se in Windows 10. It's just that due Windows 10 app provisioning, generalizing existing Windows installation is not possible, Sysprep failing when you try it.

    There is a simple workaround but as it requires removing each and every UWP app, it is not recommended.

    So I did some more preparation for my new ASUS board.
    Now on my Aida64 Sensor Panel:

    I made these two .png transparents, and incorporated them in:

    2017 Hardware Thread [2]-rog-500px.png

    to look like this:

    If anyone with Aida64, you can add this to your sensor panel folder and import it to use too: OC ROG RED.zip
