Hello, I'm trying to upgrade from an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X to an Intel i5 12600K. I've switched to an Intel motherboard and replaced the drives, but I'm still having issues loading my PC. I'm using the same storage as before and just need some guidance. I don't want to format the drives when the system restarts, so could you help me by removing the AMD software and files from the only directory that contains them? Thank you very much!

Typically you need to perform a fresh installation after changing from AMD to Intel, and so on.

No specific reason was mentioned; the request simply asks about the necessity of reformatting drives.

What storage options do you have? Do you use a dedicated boot drive, separate data drives, or everything on a single drive?

I possess a boot disk containing additional components, while the remaining two storage units consist of an SSD and an HDD, primarily used for game and file storage.

Consider a fix if you can't return to the earlier AMD setup. Generate a USB installation file using the Microsoft utility and then restore with the option to preserve files and programs. Should that not work, attempt a reinstall using just the keep files choice. Alternatively, perform a clean install on a different storage device—disconnect the other drives temporarily for safety.

Not familiar with switching between AMD and Intel, so it's unclear if all connected drives are formatted at once.

Unless you structure the drive, it won’t reformat by itself. With TPM active, you might face some issues, though a direct AMD to Intel conversion works without problems.

When it starts up and you're trying to figure out which setting to choose, remember whether you have the TPM installed. If unsure, start with the default options unless you're certain about the hardware.
