I just upgraded my g4560 & b250m pro vd to a ryzen 5 1600 & b350m gaming pro. Would I have to reinstall windows 10 to get better performance?

Ahh the eternal question. When you replace your motherboard, you don’t have to do a clean windows install, but you absolutely should. There’s a chance everything works fine if you don’t. There’s a bigger chance for some serious issues if you decide to risk it. Do a clean install. You’ll be happy you did.
