    Should I reinstall windows 10 going from INTEL to AMD?


    I recently upgraded my system from intel to amd and I was wondering if reinstalling OS is necessary? It booted without issues and windows found all required drivers and removed all intel related drivers by itself. Maybe there are some registry values or other leftovers that can only be removed by doing clean install? I benchmarked all my components and they are running as intended. I have been using the system for the past 3 days and haven't encountered anything out of the ordinary. Yet people on various forums keep insisting that you absolutely MUST do a fresh install.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 upgrade fail BSOD - AMD/Intel Hybrid (Switchable) Graphics - Sony Vaio SVE14A26C

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Windows 10 will run on a PC with AMD/Intel Hybrid (Switchable) graphics.

    Since Sony has confirmed that you might face BSOD with AMD/Intel Hybrid (Switchable) Graphics SVE14A* computer model. I would suggest you to disable one of the graphic card driver and then try upgrading to Windows 10 and check.



    For disabling one of the graphic card follow the steps .

    Uninstall the Device Drivers :

    a) Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.

    b) Click on “Device Manager” from that list.

    c) Search for the Graphics Card device from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove
    the corrupted drivers from the computer.

    d) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted

    Hope it helps.

    Reply us back with the update of the issue.

    Thank you.

  4. Should I reinstall windows 10 going from INTEL to AMD?

    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.
