Hello, everyone
I'm here again for a problem, but this time a simple one.
After the last problem I decided to update my computer (Motherboard, CPU, RAM). Since I want amd for some reason so I bought amd ryzen 5 2600, B450 and some ram.
The main question is if I put these new components into an old computer (SSD, HDD, PSU) will it immediately boot up or do I need to delete the SSD and boot windows via usb?
Is there anything else I should know?
Help :)

A new system, especially the motherboard, generally involves a fresh OS install.
Going from Intel to AMD, almost a certainty.

One of three possible outcomes:
1. It works just fine
2. It fails completely
3. It "works", but you're chasing issues for weeks/months.

Bite the bullet, and do a fresh OS install.

During the OS install, you have only ONE drive physically connected, the SSD.

Your PSU? Unknown, as we have no idea of what it is...;)
