Intel Core to Ryzen Core

[w01]

I recently switched to a ryzen core from some ancient dusty i5, as well as improving many other things in the PC. Recently, I have been surfing through my computer and am finding numerous applications and background processes that all have intel in the name. Due to no longer using anything intel in my PC, is there any potential harm in uninstalling any intel apps and processes?
A list of intel named things that I would like to wipe off existence (on my PC):
- intel graphics command center
- intel serial IO
- intel SGX application Enclave services manager

As well as
-killer DBWM
- killer analytics service
- killer network service
- windows service wrapper

Thanks for the help!

Going from an Intel system to a AMD system, you really really need to do a full wipe and reinstall.

You are lucky the thing even boots up.

I literally just imaged my disk onto a new ssd and booted from that on an entirely otherwise new pc. I'm just looking to see if I can delete all this Intel stuff.

Image, clone, or the original physical disk...no difference.

You're lucky it boots up.
You'll likely be chasing other issues for weeks.

Yeah but I did this months ago and there have been no issues and I expect none to come. It worked efficiently, and as far as I can tell, perfectly. I just want to know whether uninstalling Intel stuff will cause issues.

No, it won't.

Operating systems won't load or care about drivers for hardware that doesn't exist.

That is not always the case.

Just uninstall the unused apps, if possible.

As stated earlier, your best option would be a full, clean install. Performance would likely improve as a result.

Keep in mind that uninstalls often leave vestiges of the original apps/programs behind. You may have to manually remove a bunch of stuff.

the killer stuff is networking related and comes from the mobo. you'll need to check and make sure your new mobo is not using a killer networking chip. might be from the old system,. might not be.

the rest you most likely don't need and can delete them. if anything, if you end up needing something, then simply reinstall it. no biggie

in the end though, no harm in leaving it there if you just don't want to mess with it. a fresh install is the best way to go, but if you don't want to, then that's your call.
