Yes, it’s generally recommended to install a fresh copy after upgrading from an older CPU architecture. Cloning may not work reliably across generations, especially with significant architectural changes. For your situation, moving from an 8th-gen i7 to a newer i5 or AMD chip would likely require a new installation to ensure compatibility and stability.

Avoid switching to a different chipset unless necessary. The existing system may still have leftover files and drivers from the older version, which could cause issues. This might lead to instability or reduced performance in certain games or applications. In short, it should function, but it might not be perfect.

There are available options to retrieve your Windows or Office product keys. A simple search on the web can assist you. If the key isn’t tied to your specific device (due to Microsoft’s policies), you should be fine.

Having a clone of a functional system means you retain your working version even if something fails, preventing any loss. In a completely safe scenario, attempting it wouldn’t be foolish.
