    I suppose I should uninstall an the MSI software before I forget, for when I swap out my system disk.

    Should I also uninstall the USB host controller asmedia driver from MSI?
    and what about the Intel drivers I installed from MSI for the 6700K, like the ME driver, IRST, and Software guard extensions?
    Will they cause any conflicts when I swap out the boards, as they are for a different processor and different chipset.

    Hi,
    I doubt you have to worry about it 10 adjusts to new hardware pretty well
    All except the activation which will have to be reactivated.

    Hi,
    Funny thing is on the same 10 install
    I went from a crappy acer board and Q9550 to a x299 tuf mark 2 and again to prime x299 deluxe lol
    10 hardly cared except for the activation bit :)

    My new one is already setup and tried on my MSI board.
    all the new stuff I got I have installed on my MSI system already, so that software is already installed, my Zotac, my Thermaltake CLC, my 960EVO and so on. I wasn't sure how long it would be until I received my 8700K and wanted to try out everything

    Hi,
    Yeah just changing the cpu is nothing but a performance gain
    No issues with activation either since you already went through that with the board swap :)

    Hopefully I will have that much luck

    One bad thing happened when I was installing al my new toys, is I forgot that I had a pretty high OC on my MSI GTX 1080, and didn't turn it off, and when I tried imaging to the new drive I couldn't boot into windows

    I thought it might have been a bad image, so tried another, no go, tried repairing the boot loader with Macrium, no go, with Windows recovery option No go. So I did a clean install.
    Then it dawned on me yesterday after the clean install, and everything installed and set up, it was probably the overclock +150 core, and +450 memory in Afterburner, that was giving me the BSOWTF(Black Screen of WTF)
