  1. When switching my CPU and socket, will Windows keep working or is a reinstall necessary?


    I am switching from Intel to AMD, and I'm wondering if I can just start using it straight away after the physical installation + BIOS stuff? Or if I try to boot from the old drive this way, will nothing work and do I have to reinstall all the applications, games that I have installed?

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond When switching my CPU and socket, will Windows keep working or is a reinstall necessary? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
    • Search for Radio Management Service.
    • Right-click, then choose Start.

    Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

    Get back to us if the steps won't work.
