I'm going to upgrade from Asus P5Q Pro (P45 chipset) motherboard to Asus Prime H270M-Plus (H270 chipset) motherboard.
Currently, Windows 10 boots off RAID1, made with two hard disks (using Intel ICH10R Raid), in BIOS mode (P5Q Pro don't even support UEFI).
I'm going to replace motherboard/CPU/memory, but keep the hard disks. I'd like to have the new board to boot with UEFI.
Given the boot process change, and Intel RST version change, will Windows boot at all? Is there anything I can do prior to hardware upgrade to leave Windows bootable, or is there anything I should do to fix it after the hardware upgrade?
sysprep
but that's as good as reinstalling (almost). Also changing RAID controllers isn't easy usually. You might need to clear the disks. Though Intel RAID should be more forgiving.sysprep
will leave nearly everything intact (except activation), right? I'm not sure why you say it's "almost as good as reinstalling"? I'm reading onsysprep
right now, and I don't see any downsides...
