Changing motherboard

[Guest]

Het everyone, so I'm about to buy a crosshair V formula-z and I currently have a 970a-g46 from MSI and I was wondering I needed to renstall the AMD drivers when I swap my motherboard (I know I need to uninstall anything that's not AMD, but what about the AMD drivers?

Typically when changing a motherboard best practice is to reinstall windows entirely.

For sure, But I just went through a few windows reinstalls already and want to know if there is an alternative

did you need any new OS for new motherboard? because I want to change mine and I don't really know if I have to do that, thanks

The first motherboard I swapped without reinstalling haa completly different architecture and I hadnt reinstalled anything: It was a mess everything was about twice slower. For the windows key, I had a DELL windows key and it activated just fine on my completly new system

When I switched from an amd system to an intel system it refused to boot...

I would say just reinstall windows. This way you get the best possible performance. The old drivers and other leftover stuff might conflict with the new motherboard
