Hello all,
I'm currently running High Sierra on a Gigabyte Gaming 5 170 board and a 6700k (the Tonymac buyer's guide from a couple of years ago). I'm using a GTX1080 for graphics and an external USB audio interface for audio so I don't use any of the built-in audio/video. Everything is peachy.
This week-end, I'm planning on replacing the mobo with the Gigabyte AORUS Gaming z370 and an 8700k CPU (once again, straight from the Tonymac buyer's guide). Everything else is staying the same.
My question is…will I be able to simply plug my OS drive into the new machine, tweak the BIOS as needed, and go? My Clover settings should translate to the new CPU according to my research. Am I overlooking something important?
Also, by simply plugging in my old drive, will the computer serial # stay the same?
