Changing the motherboard, there are three possibilities:

Did you buy new RAM as well? RAM for an i7-2600 (DDR3) most likely won't work on a motherboard for a Ryzen 5 3600 (DDR4), or at least information technology won't piece of work well.

AFAIK, yous definitely need to exercise a complete Windows re-installation.

Farther, if your previous Windows license was an OEM license, then that license is tied to the motherboard, and you won't be able to reuse information technology on the new motherboard.

If information technology was a Retail license, though, you should be skilful, only enter the fundamental when doing an install.

No idea, as I've never heard of it - but I would be very suspicious. I'd STRONGLY recommend backing up all your files/data, then doing a make clean Windows install on the new arrangement.

Just to exist clear, am I supposed to just change my motherboard and then boot from a flash drive?
Or do I need to reinstall windows on my electric current pc, then change the mobo, then boot from a flash drive?

Step 2: swap board/CPU
Step3: boot into bios, select the Flash Bulldoze equally boot device
Footstep four: install Windows
Step 5: enter your business relationship credentials

Still tin can't find which Windows y'all have now ? If it's W7, forget information technology, information technology will not work on 2d gen Ryzen without much bother. W10 on the other paw is much easier to bandy between very different systems. I had it working by swapping from aboriginal Intel Core 2 Duo on R7 3700x and back..
There'south likewise pick to update W7/8/viii.1 to W10 first and then swap disk to new car simply every bit others said it's uncertain to a degree and much more work than just installing W10 cleanly using your previous windows license.

Distressing! Information technology is windows 10. My system was windows 7 only did the gratuitous upgrade to windows ten.

It costs you zero to try although clean install is best and safest option. Backup personal files first.
