Requesting assistance from Intel to AMD
Hey, when moving from Intel to AMD, you'll need to update a few components besides the CPU. Make sure your RAM, storage type (HDD or SSD), and other hardware match what your new system supports. As for your files, they should stay accessible after reinstalling Windows, assuming the drive remains the same. Let me know if you need more details! Cheers!
Motherboard requires AM4 socket for Ryzen 1000-5000 models or AM5 for Ryzen 7000 series. Note: RAM choice affects potential changes; ensure compatibility with your platform. If using DDR4 and a Ryzen 5000 or older, no RAM swap is necessary. Always back up data before performing any updates. Edited December 9, 2022 by aDoomGuy
Thank you for your question. You only need to clean the disk where your old system was set up. Your current setup has Windows on C: drive, but files have been moved to other drives. The downloads, desktop, photos, music, etc., should remain accessible on the same drive when you install the new system.
They should work if they're on a different physical drive. If your Steam libraries are on other drives, just re-add them in Steam settings—no need to reinstall. However, it’s best to clear the entire C drive and its partitions for a clean start.
