I approached the transfer from a software perspective. First, I removed Intel’s various programs, then restarted the system, allowing Windows to install AMD drivers automatically. Alternatively, I could have left everything intact and let Windows handle the AMD setup without any manual intervention. The method varies depending on personal preference for a clean installation. My goal was to ensure you received the frames you paid for.
This process aligns with your experience. Since you haven’t worked with software before, the best approach is a full system reset. Uninstalling all previous settings and files will ensure a clean start, especially if you’re unsure about what to remove. Your AMD or Intel builds can be reinstalled without issues after a complete wipe.
For your AMD-based PC,...(unless it relies on an Intel add-on card) I'd exclude the Intel-specific entries in the "Programs & Features" or Apps section of the Newer Windows Control Panel. Cautions... It's better to perform a clean install to ensure everything works smoothly, as this fresh setup will only load the essential driver packages and avoid any unexpected interference that might affect your performance.
