Windows 10 re-install or not.

I have just changed my hardware from an i5 2500k and a Gigabyte MOBO to an i7 8700k with an Asus MOBO tried without re-install and when I opened my PC just before the login screen the windows started downloading new drivers (just like when you install them and it says "configuring") I let it finish and now it's working as intended.

 

My question is should I format ? or wait until something goes wrong and then do a "clean" install.

  • Finished ? It'll never be finished. A battle isn't like some stupid argument. As long as someone's still breathing, the fight isn't over. Everyone who searches for power without exception searches for battle. Do you fight in order to become more powerful ? Or you want more power in order to fight ?

Doing it that way doesn't always guarantee a reliable working OS, so yes I would recommend you do a clean install of Windows.
