i am planing on getting a new motherboard and CPU and i am switching from intel to a ryzen, but i am planning on using the same SSD for OS. Do i need to worry about drivers or will it boot up fine?

It is recommended to reinstall windows on new builds, especially when going from intel to amd or the other way around. Your computer might boot without a problem without reinstalling windows, but chances are you will run into some problems and are better off backing up your data and reinstalling windows.
