Hello, It's wise to consider a fresh install of Windows 11 after upgrading your motherboard and CPU, even if the system is running. This can help ensure stability and security.

If it functions, you may keep it. However, personally, I’d opt for a new installation to avoid any risk of driver conflicts.

New build = New install. There's no reason to take shortcuts, and have weird problems pop up later.

It would be preferable, though it should still function. This scenario could easily occur; I’d probably choose to reinstall the operating system.

Currently it functions well, but issues tend to appear later. The most obvious signs are reduced efficiency compared to the device's full potential due to lingering driver data from previous installations that remain unresolved.
