Question Fresh install or reset your PC

[Boombastic98]

Hello!
I just swapped motherboard, rams and CPU, maintaining the Same M2 and GPU.

I know i should re install Windows Because of motherboard drivers, but i would like to know if a fresh re install through USB is necessary, or if i can just use the reset your PC option.

I ask this Because the M2 as win 11 installed and right now i only have a USB with win10, and i would prefer to keep win 11.

Full wipe and reinstall.
The 'reset' might not even be available.

Not having a Win 11 USB is called "failure to prepare". Like not having a screwdriver.

In a pinch you can install W10 and upgrade it to W11 online for free. If you don't have another way to download W11 ISO, basic W10 installation shouldn't take long time and you can use it to download W11.

I would even go farther.

Install Win 10.
Create a Win 11 USB.
Full reinstall with the new Win 11 USB.
