No, reinstall Windows is not necessary after a motherboard change.

Use the original motherboard setup and connect the HDD.

I've set up version 11. It's an upgrade from version 10. The main change is the motherboard, switching from Asus A320M-K to Asus Tuf B450M gaming plus II. Everything else remains consistent.

Looking for a fresh platform or swapping in a different version? It might not always be guaranteed. If you're moving to another platform, it could be unpredictable—just reinstall if needed.

Sure, just let me know if it's the same board or a different one.

Thanks! I’ll reinstall Windows but keep the old one for now until I decide. I’m excited to install this board and curious about its BIOS and CPU support.

Ensure all UEFI configurations are aligned, including settings, secure boot status, and FTPM details. Reinstalling should only be considered as a final option.

Everything functions properly. The board supports all AM4 CPUs, which is great. I plan to switch the CPU later, but right now it doesn’t seem important. The boost is slightly higher than before, but it’s not noticeable. Thanks!
