Am im going to have issues?

Asqire

 

So, I am building a new pc at the Moment but I am reusing my old graphics card and ssd I went from intel to AMD so my question is do I have to reassemble my old pc and delete all the drivers or something like that?, thanks in advance.

No.  If you want to keep files like documents, save files and photos etc you should back them up on an external HDD or you phone however.  Just reinstall windows on the new system and it should work without any issues.

Ideally, you should wipe the OS drive and reinstall Windows. Going to a different platform (new motherboard/CPU) can cause performance loss in certain applications and games (up to 15% in some cases) due to Windows still having some of the old drivers installed but not in use.

some old drivers will stay and it can cause some weird behavior sometimes but in general now windows handles this kind of thing pretty well. it's almost a portable OS lmao.
It's such a pain to lose all your configs that I'd rather not wipe and reinstall. but for people who use things close to default it's worth the peace of mind.

also there are no good tools for cleaning out old drivers out of windows... which is why everybody tells you to reinstall.
