You're just starting out in the tech world. Your old gaming PC from 2013 is getting an update—swapped the GPU for a NVIDIA GTX 1660 and the power supply for a Corsair 550w. The gaming performance is still decent, though not top-notch. You're considering replacing the AMD FX-4350 with a Ryzen 5 2600 and thinking about moving to an AMD B450 motherboard. Since you're on a budget, you're worried about compatibility with Windows 8.1. Your question is whether the AMD B450 works with Windows 8.1.

The Windows 8.1 activation key remains valid for upgrading to Windows 10. Although the official upgrade window has closed, the previous keys can still be used. Just create a Windows 10 installation USB and apply your old key.
