Changed mobo Files Still Here ?

[PickleRickSanchez]

Hi guys,

 

So i changed my mobo from msi x470 gaming pro to msi b450 bazooka v2, because i bought a new case which needed a micro atx mobo (yeah i know amateur mistake xD)
I started my "new" pc and it is normal, as it was before changing the motherboard.

I was expecting a full format, installing all the games and apps again...

Is this even right?

Should i format it anyway?

 

THanks

I mean changing a motherboard doesn't have result in a reset.

If any problems start to occur then sure. If it's fine leave it.

I guess that's what i will do exept if someone presents me an alternative.

would like to know the reason this happens though.

Thank you

Well a motherboard does not cause a reset.. really doesn't have a different answer lol..

The only thing that changed is the chipset ... and you already have the amd chipset drivers installed, so windows simply detected a different chipset, searched for drivers, found the ones installed already are compatible and reused them.

Probably have same onboard audio chip, same network card, same everything.

 

It should work fine, but if you get random crashes or reboots, maybe consider reinstalling the operating system.

 

Had you move from AMD to Intel motherboard, with different chipsets, and lots of other things, that could ne a "shock" to the system and cause problems, making some people recommend a reinstall.
