You should consider a clean installation if switching from an Intel CPU to an AMD CPU. Keeping the old operating system may lead to compatibility issues and potential conflicts. It’s best to update to a fresh Windows version for optimal performance and security.

You can use Intel or AM4 without issues, but switching CPU brands is strongly advised to reinstall.
