of course, i'd love to do that. other than the fact that i cant do a fresh install since nothing is being detected in the windows installation

Do what post 9 said

do i need to clear cmos, id prefer not to screw around on motherboard more than I have to

It's not a serious thing. Just head a flathead and pop out the battery for 10 sec

what does it do

It's a backup battery that stores info on your mobo

ahh ok

reset cmos, unplugged hard drive now waiting for windows 10 to get done downloading so i can boot from it

good news, windows 10 installation detects my keyboard

Was interested to see if that would have fixed your problem using Windows 7

Good to hear you got it working though

yeah, i have 16gb of ram so i feel windows 10 wont really be bogging down on me much anymore.


also, is the new ryzen cpu cooler good enough to use if I don't over clock?
