Driver issues.

[tomasesp]

Hello,

 

About three weeks ago I updated my old rig from AMD to intel. I used my old hard drives but anytime I download will have AMD ready download file. Should I reset my entire PC or is there something I can use to delete the AMD drivers in my hard drives.

Whenever you move from AMD to Intel, you should reinstall Windows. Don't reset, rather reinstall from from a USB drive or DVD.

Just to understand correctly I should buy a new installation of windows?

You don't need to buy it again, just reinstall with the same product key.

Okay, thanks for the advice.

When I first install windows on my old build I installed "Windows 8.2 Pro" and then upgraded it to windows 10. If I used the same installation disk will it cause it to go back to 8.1 or will it stay on 10?

A Windows 8.1 disc is still going to be Windows 8.1. There might be a way to get the key directly from Windows 10, or you could use the "Accessibility Features" Windows 10 Upgrade. Just look that up. That'd mean installing Windows 8.1 and then using some accessibility to be eligible to upgrade to Windows 10.
