Changing CPUs usually doesn<|pad|> a new Windows isn't required unless you're doing a full system reset or major repair. It's similar to upgrading other components, but the process depends on your specific hardware and settings.

My older rig is a model from before, and I'm upgrading it to something newer.

You're planning to switch from an ASUS TUF B450-Plus to a Ryzen 5 5600X. Make sure the new motherboard supports those components and check compatibility before proceeding.

Make sure your BIOS is updated prior to testing the new CPU. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards-Com...Desk_BIOS/ You won't need to reinstall Windows afterward.
