    Swapping MoBo and CPU from Intel to AMD without reinstalling


    Hi,
    I'm swapping from Intel to AMD tomorrow, so drivers are gonna be very borked. Do I need to reinstall fresh, or can I just swap the hard drive and reboot, letting win update fix it and manually uninstalling old drivers?
    (my licence is linked to my account already)

    If I can't just boot, I've read about sysprep. Is that at all destructive? (files, settings, users) I have about 700-800GB of files and installed programs.


    Thanks

    :)

    Swapping motherboards without reinstalling XP

    Not even remotely true!

    I have done the swap many times...CPU's AMD to intel....hell even Nvidia to intel chipset. It can be done if done correctly and thoroughly!

    Swapping MoBo and CPU from Intel to AMD without reinstalling

    KB4100347 why is microsoft pushing this update to none intel cpu's mainly amd

    KB4100347 why is microsoft pushing this update to none intel cpu's mainly amd

    I would think that all the insiders and months of testing, microsoft could tell the difference in cpu

    architect or maybe I am wrong on that assumption.

    Unless I am going to swap out my motherboard and cpu ? not likely
