    Do I need to reinstall windows 10 on new build


    I going to upgrade from am4 to am5 sockets. I have a new motherboard, cpu, and ram. Can I simply just plug in my m.2 ssd that already has windows 10 and all my data, to my new build and boot it up. Will window 10 recognize the new parts and troubleshoot and fix the problem and keep my files? Do I need to backup my data and wipe my ssd and install windows 10 again and use the backup to get my stuff back? Or can I install windows 10 to a usb drive and keep my m.2 ssd but in boot up prioritize the usb and override my ssd windows drive and will this keep myfile/data?

    :)
