[SOLVED] Reinstall Windows 10 after hardware switch

[Aether229]

Hello
So around 1 week ago I bough a new motherboard/CPU and RAM and everything is working fine but I've seen people saying that you should reinstall windows after replacing you cpu/motherboard.
Is there a reason for me to do so?

Old vs New Specs

Z97 PC Mate --> ROG Strix B550-f
Intel i5 4460 ---> Ryzen 7 3700x
Old Corsair 1600mhz ---> Corsair Vengeance RBG Ram 3600mhz
Cooler Master 500w ---> Corsair RM750X V2

if you want to avoid conflict and have to go in issue full reinstall of the os is solution .

Swapping hardware and keeping the same drive+OS has 3 possible outcomes:

1. It works just fine
2. It fails completely
3. It 'works', but you're chasing issues for weeks/months.

I've seen all 3.

Increasingly, we're seeing # 3 as the usual outcome. Initial reports are "It worked!". Then..."hmm...maybe not so much"
