What I was planning on doing was just replacing the existing motherboard and CPU for a faster motherboard and CPU.
I would like to know whether I could keep the existing OS and all the files safe on the hard drive instead of re-installing the OS again and formatting the drive.
Can I just unplug the hard drive until the BIOS is setup and then plug it in again expecting it to load up just like it used to?
