Old -> New build

[PKDEV]

So, I used to have a pc with a 1660 super and a ryzen 5 3400g. After a lot of years it finally died on me, and i decided to order new parts to build a completely new PC.

 

I bought a new ssd for it to upgrade my storage while im at it, im still planning on bringing the old ssd i had + a hard drive from the playstation 4 as extras.

My question is basically, Will i be able to just use my old ssd as a primary boot ssd, and keep windows and all my files / games without going thru the whole process of downloading games again etc, if that is possible i was planning on using DDU (display driver uninstaller) to get rid of old drivers that i no longer need.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

It's probably not a good idea, I would reset windows with a fresh install personally.
You'll end troubleshooting a lot of drivers conflict when changing the board and CPU, worse if it's different socket or intel. 
DDU only work for graphics and audio drivers, and that's unfortunately just the surface of the iceberg of conflicts you might have. 

Games can be recovered pretty easily on most launchers though, so you can put your games onto something independant from your boot drive, and recover them from there. Google the process of doing that for whatever launcher you're using for X game, and you'll probably end up succeeding without much issues.
