New mobo, CPU .. Do I have to do a fresh installl?

Beat

I think that is what's recommended, but my problem is my CD went missing somewhere. I have the product serial keys and what not, but is it possible to just run it without reinstalling? Can I just simply download the new drivers and delete the old drivers? thanks.

 

In my case ..

Old MOBO and CPU: ASUS M4N98TD EVO and AMD Phenom II x4.

New MOBO and CPU: Asus Crosshair V Formula Z and AMD FX8320.

 

I'm also upgrading from 4gb ram to 8gb RAM: Crucial Ballistix to Corsair vengeance pro.

 

On a side note: the new mobo is sexy *_*

Somehow it worked, I didn't do clean install or use any program. Windows simply asked to verify product key and that's it o_o

all there's left to do in uninstall and install new drivers.
