You're planning a transition from Intel to AMD while keeping your existing files intact. To preserve everything during the fresh Windows installation, you'll need to back up your data first. Then, use a tool like Windows Installer or a third-party utility such as Rufus (for USB) or a disk imaging software to create a bootable USB drive with your current setup. Once the new system boots from that drive, you can perform the fresh install and restore your games and programs afterward.

Why would you do that ? Ryzen 3 1300x is not a good improvement over a 2600 Keep the 2600 and wait for next ryzen gen or next intel gen It's like 15% better at best, not worth it

The main reason for upgrading is that my PC won’t restart, causing Windows 10 to download update 1709 multiple times, and the new GPU isn’t working due to incompatible BIOS settings.

It seems confusing, but the issue doesn't seem to be resolved. You're free to use any GPU with a 2600 board and Windows 10 should work without trouble. The BIOS isn't related to this problem.

My setup is an Alienware from 2011; installing the GTX 770 caused a BIOS check failure, but after replacing the HD6950 it worked fine. I’m still confused about why the 770 wouldn’t boot properly.

Sorry to hear this. You need to contact support first, as the issue might be with the power source. If that doesn't work, updating the BIOS could help.

On the software side, simply disconnect the HDD during installation when switching from an SSD. Most programs will require a full reinstallation, but games using services like Steam or Origin only need a platform update. Then connect the game files folder and complete the setup.
