Solved Upgrading Motherboard And CPU Without Reinstalling Windows

I’ve been in need of a motherboard and CPU upgrade for some time now, but one of the things that’s kept me from actually doing it (Aside from money, of course) is the fact that I realize it’s usually a good idea to reinstall Windows when doing major hardware upgrades, especially those involving the motherboard. I’ve built quite a few computers from scratch, but this will be one of the first times I’ve replaced a modern motherboard in a working system.

At the moment, I don’t really have the time to go through reinstalling Windows and getting everything back to normal with work and such, so I was just looking for some tips from others to avoid any complications this might bring forth.

I’m assuming uninstalling motherboard and chipset drivers beforehand is a given, but is there anything else I should do before installing the new hardware? I don’t have anything specific chosen at the moment, but I’ll definitely be installing a newer Intel processor on either the 1151 or 1150 socket with either an ASUS or MSI motherboard – my current system specifications can be found in my signature.

A big thanks in advance to everyone!
