No you don't have to reinstall. All it takes is a free app that can scan and clean old devices and driverstore files. The part about "getting worse over time" is also a complete fabrication. They also don't "switch between amd and intel" constantly just because you had one or the other before.
Dont be lazy just reinstall from usb it takes like 20 minutes. And yest they have seperate ssd’s that are amd and intel for benchmarking. Does this guy literally think that every single time they test s new cpu mb combo they reinstall windows? Lol thats wxtremely counter productive
I swapped an old PhenomII combi out for a Ryzen (mb, cpu, ram). The pc rebooted one or two times and works like charm still to this day. Also, no Windows activation issues. I work with the windows10 license from my friend i bought this system from many years ago. It automatically activated after the initial fresh install back then without asking for a key. I suppose it identified some hardware-ID.
Funfact, you can just log into your Microsoft account (that has a key) and transfer or get a copy of that key so the Activate Windows text disappears. It took me 2 years to figure out or even try lol
It also requires having signed in with a Microsoft account, while a lot of power users use local accounts so they don't have to rely on the cloud to login to their own computer.
do a clean windows install on the same drive partition so that you can still keep most of your old files without clearing out the entire drive through the windows.old folder.
Man. Yes even tho i agree with you. I Swap my SSD between two PCs and Windows 10 doesnt Care. And its No small Difference in Hardware. One is a b550 while the Other is an lga775 machine
I've switched from older intel to ryzen for two of my friends. It didn't even see the windows installation BOTH times. Nothing I could do got it back, so just expect a fresh (and fast) windows install.
i have one more question, if you change motherboard, cpu and gpu, would you need to format or no? (going from intel, to intel and from nvidia to nvidia)
Would be nice if you made a video on reinstalling, namely what folders you might want to back up so you can get up and running quicker. Just an overall overview of how to reinstall efficiently so you aren’t starting from scratch.
It’s doesn’t hurt the pc when ya switch over bc any good pc maintenance program will remove the files that’s doesn’t need to be there anymore and it’s easy to reinstall just put which os you gonna use on usb and then your good to go
@@JustinEdge-i3i I do know how to reinstall, I mostly mentioned that part because as a general guide that would also make sense to include. What has always kept me from reinstalling despite multiple GPU and CPU upgrades has been that I don’t want to figure out everything to back up and have to keep track of everything that I need to install afterwards. I’m sure there are some folders that can be backed up separately that would make that process much easier, which is mostly what I personally would like.
@@flashlightning6742if you want to reinstall win it will delete everything on a partition you choose usually it C, and no you cant speed it up by leaving or deleting files
Usually what I do is move all of my pictures, music, data, configs, other files/folders and screenshots of all the programs on the PC to my hard drive (which doesn't get wiped). After reinstalling the programs from the screenshots I move all of the files back to the SSD
@@your_average_cultured_dude it’s good to have back up drives on pc and install games on the other drives so when ya reinstall windows you don’t have to reinstall the games and programs
you can reinstall windows just by downloading the ISO file then run it directly on your OS drive, you will have the option to keep the app as window's new installation will keep everything, clear all registry then reinstall your apps all at once without losing any data. Trust me I've don this many times, it works basically the same as reinstalling a new window but save the time you have to find the apps that you previously had.
Swapped my i9 9900K platform to an Ryzen 7800X3D with no problems whatsoever. Just installed the new drivers, uninstalled the old ones with the Revo Uninstaller und things running perfectly fine since half a year with the exact same drives and system data as before
That is why you link your Key to your microsoft account. That way when you log in, it automatically re-activates your key. If you change it again, you can transfer/re-activate it all over again. I did this 3 times in 1 week as I was troubleshooting computer problems. First installing on a fresh hard drive to eliminate that possibility, then finally changing my Motherboard and Processor. Both times I had to re-activate.
Hey I have an i7 11700f but it’s on a z490 right now. Will there be any difference in performance if I swap to a z590 or b560? I never seem to use my pc resources well and I was wondering if this might be the cause.
Guys if it’s your key and you change you can call and get it moved over. It is tied to the motherboard, but if you will not be using that old motherboard then they will most likely transfer it for you.
I tried doing this but couldn't find how, it was easier to find a tool to hack it then it was to find out how to get my key moved over, thanks microsoft
Does that mean we can use the windows 10 media creator to reinstall windows? Or do arm just need to do a complete wipe of our pc and do everything from scratch?
It is even recommended to use "DDU" (display driver uninstaller - which can un-install other drivers as well) to clean out older driver versions that aren't needed anymore to not conflict with the newer ones.
i am so confused when it comes to this subject. I keep hearing different things. I have been wanting to upgrade my motherboard and cpu, but i don’t have a spare drive and i have so much stuff on my pc i don’t want to reinstall all my stuff…. is there not another way?
I have the MSI ProSeries AMD Ryzen 2ND and 3rd Gen AM4 M.2 USB 3 DDR4 D-Sub DVI HDMI Micro-ATX Motherboard (B450M PRO-VDH Max) Motherboard in my shopping cart on amazon do you think its a good motherboard for gaming? Also if theirs anything else you recommend please lmk

Or if you can can you tell me a better combo please for roblox fortnite and cod games like that
I literally just swapped MoBos and as soon as I clicked this, I got a BSOD, and lost my windows activation key even tho mine was a lifetime activation and I removed it from my old one
On top of that driver conflicts everywhere. Never let do windows all the driver work. It will never work as intended you will get universal drivers everywhere. Get the drivers from motherboard manufacturs
I've been really lucky. I have upgraded from Intel system to AMD and then AMD CPU upgrade about 4 GPUs and numerous HDD and SSDs. Also went from Windows 7 to 10 and still havent had issues. I did remove all the drivers before the Intel to AMD upgrade and ran DDU a couple of times between each GPU.
Yup, I swapped from an micro atx motherboard to an atx motherboard without doing a fresh install and my login thing disappeared on the login screen. I had to do a fresh reset and reinstall windows
Actually is this the biggest bullshit I have heard. Simply but. I am running "the upgraded" vista x64 install from my Athlon 3500 CPU. The installation is all the way upgraded to Windows 11. Going to thru those cpu's (Athlon64 3500, Intel E6600, Intel Q6600, Intel I7 4790K and now AMD Ryzen 9 5900X). Runs like a champ. Even converted the disklayout from MBR -> GPT during this process. Meaning. Reinstalling Windows for swapping Intel -> AMD or visa versa is not needed. Unless you crave the everything must feel new feeling. And no. Your system will not got worser overtime and no funky stuff. I wish people would try it out instead of telling this bullshit story.

This is exactly true💯 3 days before I had to go with a new upgrade for my old motherboard of ASUS Prime H410M-A (almost 3 years used), upgrading to my new motherboard of ASUS Prime H510M-A due to some issues in USB ports. Nothing changed any other component in my PC. I'm using i5 10th Gen processor, same one for old & new motherboard. I have to install the latest bios updates and compatible drivers for my new motherboard and also surprisingly I have to re-activate my windows license key as well.. My old windows key was not supported for new motherboard, so I have to activate it with a new key like he said in this video. So my point is even if you're using the same processor and you're upgrading your motherboard to a different model, you have to change every stuff discribed in this video. Love this guy's content❤ He is doing good job! Highly appreciated❤✨️👌
Here's a question for you, I have a PCIE x4 slot that goes unutilized in my pre-built. I already have wifi and Bluetooth capabilities, and I'm considering getting a PCIE to Dual NVME adapter. Do you have one you recommend, or is there something else I should get for that slot?

Yeah, I just use a "small" SSD for my boot drive and applications. If I'm building a new system, time for a clean install. My data is on spinning rust, so photos, documents, etc just get moved on those drives. Clean up any file ownership issues and GTG
I reset my pc with every windows version that comes out. thing is.. i dont know how to backup games that DO NOT have cloud storage like Deltarune or Pokemon Uranium for example. ;_; Same on android
Can confirm. Windows went in the gutter quick after swapping to Ryzen. Was so bad I mained Manjaro for years cuz I thought windows just sucked. I still don’t like windows but it’s not that bad
Hey Zach you wanna hear about my mess up Pc? I have a I5-10400f, a 1070ti Msi and a H410M H What can I do to upgrade my pc? 😢 Internet says that I need a rtx 3060 😞
Following up on this with a similar question, should I do a fresh install after updating the MB even if I stay within Ryzen but switched GPU from nvidia to AMD??
Not bad info. I swapped from AMD to Intel and despite cloning with Acronis, over time, I noticed stuff not working, like my Windows troubleshooting tools being nonexistent and not even being able to check for updates.
Not a bad answer, but definitely not 'recommended' to reinstall Windows when you just do a hardware upgrade these days. Windows 10/11 is really good about realigning drivers. Always good to run a driver cleanup utility though.
I have a question. If I want to upgrade Nvme SDD from 500GB to 2TB, do I will gonna lost the key and how then I could save it to the motherboard or there is no chance of saving Window
I just did this excact thing without researching first. I tried reinstalling and even upgrading from W10 to W11 and I still cant get the windows to activate again. Cant manually register my Windows key, cant troubleshoot. Nothing is working to get the shit away.
I have a question I am starting college and need a laptop what would u recommend? They said i7 10th gen and 8-16gig ram but I don’t wanna get ripped off in Amazon or something
I have a build in mind my price is to not go over 500 dollars and I pick out a Intel i3 12100f and amd rx 580 and with a 750 watt power supply and 8gbs of ddr4 ram is it a good choice
I’m looking for a new gpu but I have narrowed it down to 2 options the rtx 3060 12gb and the rx 6650xt which do you think is better for getting the most fps per dollar
This is good advice for sure but it’s so hit or miss, I’ve done like 3 platform swaps and swapped drives a couple times along with multiple gpus, never reinstalled windows and never lost my activation never ddu for the gpus (all nvidia cards though). It was mostly just laziness since I figured I’d just cross that bridge if I got there but never did
This is total bullshit had the same windows install for 7 years from 8 to 11 upgraded 3 different times. Recently reinstalled windows and my frame rate was literally the same. Any issues caused by upgrading are purely amd and Microsoft not working together as long as you ddu your graphics drivers and delete old drivers for your old cpu and motherboard everything will be the same.
Do I have to wipe my other drives too? Because for my OS drive I don’t have anything on there so even if I reinstall windows I’m not that concerned. Cuz I got all my stuff on my harddrive and the other ssd😂
This is actually a pretty good answer

What can I do to upgrade my pc? 😢 Internet says that I need a rtx 3060 😞
Following up on this with a similar question, should I do a fresh install after updating the MB even if I stay within Ryzen but switched GPU from nvidia to AMD??
Whats the most powerfull gpu you would pair with an i5 12400f and 16gb of ddr4? Love the content btw
Not bad info. I swapped from AMD to Intel and despite cloning with Acronis, over time, I noticed stuff not working, like my Windows troubleshooting tools being nonexistent and not even being able to check for updates.
Hey zach, what is a amd gpu the has similar or better performance then an rtx 4070 ti for a lower price
Not a bad answer, but definitely not 'recommended' to reinstall Windows when you just do a hardware upgrade these days. Windows 10/11 is really good about realigning drivers. Always good to run a driver cleanup utility though.
I have a question. If I want to upgrade Nvme SDD from 500GB to 2TB, do I will gonna lost the key and how then I could save it to the motherboard or there is no chance of saving Window
I just did this excact thing without researching first. I tried reinstalling and even upgrading from W10 to W11 and I still cant get the windows to activate again. Cant manually register my Windows key, cant troubleshoot. Nothing is working to get the shit away.
im going to swap from a gtx 1660 to some decent amd card, what should i do when switching the gpu?
I have a question I am starting college and need a laptop what would u recommend? They said i7 10th gen and 8-16gig ram but I don’t wanna get ripped off in Amazon or something
is that why my computer has been wonky (especially with USB) since my old one died on me
I have a build in mind my price is to not go over 500 dollars and I pick out a Intel i3 12100f and amd rx 580 and with a 750 watt power supply and 8gbs of ddr4 ram is it a good choice
I’m looking for a new gpu but I have narrowed it down to 2 options the rtx 3060 12gb and the rx 6650xt which do you think is better for getting the most fps per dollar
This is good advice for sure but it’s so hit or miss, I’ve done like 3 platform swaps and swapped drives a couple times along with multiple gpus, never reinstalled windows and never lost my activation never ddu for the gpus (all nvidia cards though). It was mostly just laziness since I figured I’d just cross that bridge if I got there but never did
This is total bullshit had the same windows install for 7 years from 8 to 11 upgraded 3 different times. Recently reinstalled windows and my frame rate was literally the same. Any issues caused by upgrading are purely amd and Microsoft not working together as long as you ddu your graphics drivers and delete old drivers for your old cpu and motherboard everything will be the same.
Switched from AMD to Intel 4 years ago and nothing "funky" ever happened
i just upgraded from my i7-4790k to a i5-10600k
do i need to update or change anything?
And what if i just update from B450 to B550 ? (In this scenario with MSI motherboards)
Do I have to wipe my other drives too? Because for my OS drive I don’t have anything on there so even if I reinstall windows I’m not that concerned. Cuz I got all my stuff on my harddrive and the other ssd😂
Is a GTX 3060 12gb with 32gb of RAM with a Ryzen 7 5800x good?
