Hello, you're considering upgrading your system from an OEM board to a Ryzen 5 3600 with the MSI B450M Mortar Max. Your main concern is whether to reinstall your operating system or keep the current setup. It’s generally safer to reinstall the OS after such a significant hardware change, as compatibility issues can arise. However, if you're comfortable with the process and have the right tools, you might be able to upgrade without replacing the OS entirely. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific components.
