Recently upgraded from i5 4690k to a ryzen 7 1700

 

Would it be smart for me to reinstall windows? 

 

Any suggestions for reinstalling Windows

Should I erase all of my hard drives 

Or just the one with Windows on it?

 

Thanks in advance for any other suggestions

you can get some errors because of the change but i personally feel like it's more of a pain to deal with having to reinstall everything programs and all rather than just the errors. so i didn't. just make sure you remove all old drivers fully.

What version of Windows?  Last month, I upgraded from an i3 6100 to a Ryzen 5 1600 and my Windows 10 installation worked just fine.  It recognized the new board+ram+cpu and had no problems.  I've noticed no issues.  I don't know if Windows 7 or prior can do that, however.
