Hi I'm about to swap motherboards for my PC. I had 2 questions:
- If I install my current motherboard into another PC (using that PC's hard drives and whatnot) will I have to reinstall Windows on that PC? Or i can just Boot from the same hard drive that contained the windows partition on that PC? I was running a RAID 0 setup on my mobo (with my 2x HDDs) will my current MOBO settings follow up to that other PC once I install the mobo in it?
- Then, when I install my new mobo into my PC, will I have to re-install windows also? can I specify the boot partition? I imagine I'll have to tell the mobo which HDDs are to be in RAID 0... Is RAID 0 still the best setting for 2x HDDs (for read/write speed increase)
