Bacon Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 A question about OS. I have Win 10. I have a Win 10 key. Can I still use that or do I need to buy an OS? I was hoping to just reuse my Win10 key and then upgrade to 11 or maybe just stay at 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a single-use, then it's tied to your current motherboard. But you can get genuine keys for like $20 if you look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be good then, just deactivate your current PC before setting up your new PC. Yea, your current RGB will work, it's just that motherboard doesn't have RGB lights.

You only get diminishing returns after that, especially for the 7800X3D which hardly uses any power. You're basically paying a lot extra for aesthetics and that LCD display.

AIO is fine. You're paying over twice what you should be for an AIO because of that LCD display, though. Cheaper AIOs will be almost as good. Air is still fine. Not as good as AIOs, but will keep the CPU within spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
