currently running 4770k, planning an upgrade tomorrow. wondering if Windows built-in system backup is safe—might just create a duplicate and cause issues due to architecture changes. It could be better to clean install or copy only essential files. See the bottom image for details.

Same installation available. No need to clone it for any reason.

Are you certain Windows won't cause a blue screen due to the updated CPU design?

It's the identical CPU archetype, x86_64. Start with a test.
