Board Change. Keep Boot Drive?

[Purplehazeffc]

Hi guys.

 

I'm looking at changing form a ROG Gene VII mother board to a ASUS Sabertooth Mark S board.

 

As they both use a simular UEFI Bios. Would my boot SSD with the ROG board boot with the ASUS board??

Or am I going to do a complete re-install of Windows?

Cheers for any info Guys

I switched motherboards like a month ago and I just had to fix the boot order and everything worked perfectly. I'd assume everything would be fine, you're even staying inside the same brand.

When I got a new pc and used the boot drive from my old pc, I didn't have to reinstall Windows, It just booted straight into Windows.

you dont need to reinstall windows. normally windows boots even when you change chipsets or cpus.

 

but a fresh install is never a bad idea if you've got the time.

Cheers heaps Guys.

 

I know it works for different MSI Boards & I would think for ASUS as well.

But being ROG vs ASUS I wasn't quite sure..

I will prob go with a fresh install. Just want to get the custom water loop set up right with fan speed & such before hand
