[SOLVED] Windows OS: switching from intel i5-7500 to Ryzen 5600x

[darthsoy]

Hello!!

First time upgrading my RIG here.
I'm switching from intel to ryzen, i got Windows 10.
I've run through how to install the cpu, mobo and RAM and i know i can do it.

But my question is:
after installing the hardwares, will windows boot up even if i didnt' reinstall windows?
If windows do boot up with the new hardwares, do i need to reinstall windows?

There's an option for WIndows to reset OS with "Keep my files" or "remove everything".
Can i use these options?

Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Asked here daily.

3 possible outcomes:

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

Going from older Intel to new Ryzen?
Reduce the brainache, and do a fresh OS install in the new system.

Reinstall on the same original system, sure.

In the context of a new system and motherboard, no.
That is irrelevant.
