So it seems it's been a long time since I have upgraded my motherboard and wanted to keep the same OS install on it. So long, that I am curious as to how well it works these days. I know it used to be a big no-no because of chipset drivers and whatnot, but apparently now it is feasible. I am not opposed to doing a fresh install, but if I could not have to do that with minimal downsides I would be interested.
It doesn't help that I would be going from Intel to AMD. Does one simply remove drivers? Use sysprep? I have searched online but all of the info I found was at least 1-2 years old. FWIW, I am running Windows 10. Ordinarily I wouldn't care since I usually would have an old ass installation. This one, however, is fresh; only about a year old. If it matters, my plan is to move to Zen+ from this Ivy Bridge/Z75 platform.
I welcome any advice or opinions.
