Hello, I'm currently using a 10th gen i5 with a Z490 chipset and an RTX 2060. My goal is to upgrade to a 11th gen i7 and an AMD 9060xt with 16GB RAM. I'm not sure about the best sequence but I was thinking: 1. Update the BIOS, 2. Install the new CPU, 3. Use DDU to uninstall all Nvidia drivers, 4. Install the new GPU. Any advice on the order or the steps would be great!

Consider saving all crucial information first. Then upgrade your components if needed, reset the system, and install Windows from the ground up. If you prefer, we can skip those steps—backups remain essential at any time.
