It's generally recommended to reinstall Windows after a Mobo/cpu upgrade. This helps ensure compatibility and avoids potential issues.

Required? Not necessary with Windows 10. Suggested? Definitely. Ideal? Clearly the best.

It varies. Switching between AMD and Intel is a yes, but staying with either one is no.

Make sure your mobile drivers are updated, then you'll need to restart Windows.

Running Windows 10 with many Store applications often means a full reinstall is the safest way to avoid issues later. Compared to older versions like XP, modern Windows supports more modular updates. Using a tool such as sysprep can skip the need for a complete reinstall. This decision usually depends on personal preference—most users opt to start fresh, especially since many of us are tech-savvy. In practice, though, some may face delays or downtime while restoring their setup. If you haven’t used Store apps on Windows 10 and need guidance on sysprep, feel free to ask me or someone else for step-by-step instructions.
