I'm changing my AMD X4 860K and A78M-E35 V2 to an AMD FX-8350 and a motherboard which the name of I can't remember. I have Windows 10 (OEM) and I don't know if I need to uninstall any drivers or what and I haven't been able to find any good guides. What do I do?

If you're going to upgrade, don't bother with a FX8350 and motherboard that is likely OLDER than what you already have.

You would have to completely re-install windows if you change the motherboard. If you have the oem version of windows, contact microsoft about keeping your windows key with a motherboard swap.
