Crosshair V Formula Z to ASRock B450M Pro 4

Can I go from a Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard to a ASRock B450M Pro 4 without having to re-install windows? I rather not have to reformat the drive and just plug every thing in and go. Would it be just a mtter of installing new drivers for the new board? Or is there more involved?

You will switch the platform.

You don't have to but it's recommended 

Use your normal boot drive and if problems occur reinstall windows.
