Windows 10: Intel to AMD change....advice

Hi, i'm looking for a new motherboard/cpu combo to replace my intel set up and complement my vega 56.
I currently have i7 7700(non k) and a gigabyte Z270-HD3.
I was looking to get a ryzen 5 3600x and a motherboard.
i didnt want to spend a fortune and am not worried about future proof.
I was looking at the Msi b450 MSY QLD Ipswich or the
MSi 570 MSI X570 GAMING PLUS AM4 4xDDR4/2xPCIEx16/HDMI/M.2/USB3.2/ATX Motherboard - MSY QLD Ipswich
Apparently according to this i can update the b450's bios to run the chip Are You Ready for Ryzen 3000 Series Processors? Get the Latest BIOS and Easy Upgrade with Your AMD 300 / 400 Series Motherboards..

WOuld the B450 be good enough?

And are these combos a big enough upgrade to bother with?
The intel stuff will make a second PC for the mrs as i have spare psu ,case ,etc
Thanks Mark

intel to amd.

hi. I have to change my mother board because im changing from intel to amd cpu. I think my license is probably an OEM because the pc was originally a pre build that ive upgraded.

 

intel and amd wont work together

Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand your concern in this regard.

• Did you bought that AMD Radeon Graphics card separately or came with your PC?
• How about disabling Intel Graphics Card and using AMD Radeon Graphics card?

I suspect the problem might be with the incompatible AMD Graphics card drivers. I mean, you can see this kind of behavior when driver malfunctions on background. Suggest you to check for latest AMD Radeon Graphics card drivers on device Manufacturer website,
if in case it came along with your computer. If in case you bought it separately then try to search for the drivers on AMD official website. Most probably this will fix the issue.

Sometimes latest drivers still fails to work correctly due to compatibility on Windows 10. In view of the same, try installing legacy drivers (I.e. Either Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1) to see if it makes any difference.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

Hi,

So for those of you who still have an old HP laptop, I'd suggest to go look there : leshcatlabs.net/

I think someone linked it in this post a few years before, it's a packed version of the drivers (amd + intel) working
