Install fresh Windows with a new CPU?
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 may retain an older version of Windows, but a fresh setup is advised.
You can use Intel or AM4 without issues, but switching CPU brands is strongly advised to reinstall.
