OK, I just finished my ASUS Z97 Pro, i7-4790k, 16 GB memory build! I think I will power it on without the SSD, HDD and DVD Burner to be sure it posts and to update BIOS.
BUT, then I want to install the drives and load Win 8.1 Pro. ALL Hardware is new, and I want to know what to tell Windows when it asks about partitions. This is a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro and I want Windows to use the whole thing. Someone said it will create 4 partitions, but I wonder what I need as in the past with Win XP, I just told it to use the whole drive. Do I still get that option?
