New MOBO replacement

[mantnad_ffplayaz]

Do I need to reinstall my GPU driver after I replace my MOBO?

It depends on the motherboard and if using integrated or discrete graphics card.

If the same motherboard : no
Different motherboard,very recommended to re-install Graphic driver after installing motherboard chipset drivers.

I think mine's is discrete GPU. My GPU is Strix ROG GTX 1080. My motherboard is Asus Prime B250M-A.

Then no need to reinstall the GPU driver. What was the old motherboard?

My previous mobo is Gigabyte H279M-D3H.

You basically will be porting your windows 10 to a new hardware, you need to:

-Create a windows log in through Microsoft email account and activate email log in acount on your present windows 10 system , that you' ll be using later to re-activate your windows 10 on the different motherboard.

- Uninstall previous board chipset and all components drivers for better compatibility >> Strongly advised.

- After attaching your new motherboard:if hardware change (motherboard swap) is deemed SIGNIFICANT by windows 10 it will ask you to re-activate it's license through previously created Microsoft windows email log in credentials.

You're welcome.
I would not reinstall Windows, but only the LAN driver and test firstly.
