Upgrade frustration

[HairyPotter]

So I just bought 2 new items to upgrade my pc, I was rocking an i5 6500 paired with a b150 mobo, so I got a ryzen 7 1700 and an asus prime b350 plus, after I swap them do I need to do anything with the software or no?

Well, it is recommended to do a clean install of Windows since you changed platforms but if you don't want to do that, uninstalling all the old Intel drivers and chipset drivers and installing new ones should be enough.

Naw, should be fine. Just uninstall all your old drivers and put the new ones on.

It really depends... on many stuff. But generally, you should be fine. But Windows can be weird sometimes. It's just recommended so that you will avoid possible issues in the future.
