Yo. Quick question.
So, I currently have intel based mobo and intel cpu and I want to switch to amd ryzen. Do I need to format my drives and install fresh windows or can I boot from my old drives?
Yo. Quick question
Yes
You need to install it again since windows installs hardware-specific drivers when you install it.
No.
Seriously. Don't be a fucking twig. No need to format and reinstall anything.
You don't have to, I literally just did what you described and was able to boot into Windows installed on my old drive
I did a fresh install anyway just to be safe tho
Thanks guys. Im waiting for my xmass bonus and buying ryzen 5 2600. Any recomendation for "budget" mobo?
windows 10 is much better than previous versions at dealing with this.
good chance it may work.
>ryzen 5 2600
If you wait like 3 months you can get a 3600 instead.
install gentoo
>needs a bonus to buy a $150 cpu
