I just completed my upgrade and switched platforms from my R3 1200 to the i3-9100f this morning. I was really upset when my in-game FPS dropped after the change, so I decided to reinstall Windows even though I wasn’t sure it would help much. Surprisingly, my FPS actually doubled! LOL

I've worked in the tech support field for years, and during platform upgrades I always suggest starting from scratch. This helps avoid issues like driver conflicts and software incompatibility.

It's similar to heading to the gym right after work without taking a shower. Of course, you'll become sweaty and messy, but skipping the shower only makes things worse.

Typically you can reuse your Windows setup when the hardware shift is small, such as moving from an i3 8100 to an i5 9600K. In your situation you switched entirely between Intel and AMD, which means new drivers and registry changes across nearly all your components, creating more chances for problems.

I faced problems with my internet not working after switching from the 8700k to the 3950x, which makes sense. It took me about five hours trying to fix the motherboard drivers. A fresh Windows install might have simplified things.

I'm having trouble with my Windows for about two years, and even after swapping the motherboard and CPU, I haven't managed to reinstall it properly. The issue keeps coming up. I understand what I should do, but it's hard to follow through...

It’s helpful to understand the steps if issues arise with outdated drivers and configurations. I haven’t faced such a scenario before, but I enjoy using tools. They’re often free.
