[SOLVED] Linux, switching NVME drive to other motherboard

[pleasenoname]

Installed on an NVME drive on one board but then decided to switch to different board. Does clicking update in the package manager update linux with drivers for the new board? Or is a total reinstall better?

Linux is generally much better than Windows at seeing new hardware.

But always, be prepared for fail.

Generally all of the available drivers are present as kernel modules and are dynamically loaded as/when needed at boot time. However, it's always better to install clean on a new platform, especially if you've been mucking about in configuration files.
