Changing Motherboard Need Some Advice

[MMNIJONAH]

Hey all I am needing some advice on motherboard drivers I recently ordered a i7 3770k and a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard.

More emphasis on the motherboard I am changing my motherboard because my P8Z77-V LX is having connectivity issues but anyway will I

have to do a clean install of windows 7 or is there way to remove old drivers? 

 

Any advice/help is much appreciated thanks.

 

I am running this :  Motherboard : P8Z77-V LX

                               Processor : i5 3570k

                              Graphics Card : MSI GTX 670 Power Edition

                                             RAM : 8 GB corsair vengeance 

                                           PSU : CX750 Corsair

                                        Hard Drives : 2x 1TB WD Black Caviar 7200rpm

You'll have to clean install Windows 7. Your OS has drivers for your P8Z77-V and not for your MSI Z77A-GD65 and it's pretty much based on that. You can try to boot withouth clean installing Windows 7, but you'll have several errors/BSOD's.

Correct me if I am wrong.

In most cases, you will not have to reinstall Windows, espoecially when chipset and per. are the same. Sometimes, you will need, it depends, but in large majority of cases, you will not.
