Hey guys, I am going to build a new pc soon, and I will be using the same hard drive that I am using now in my old build.
I am going to be performing a clean install of windows 8 on my new PC, I will be using the same version and license of windows that I currently have installed on this PC, will a clean install remove all of the old drivers?
If not what drivers will I need to remove, and how do I go about doing this?
Thanks, Ben.

Yep, exactly. I find it helps to download the drivers prior to reinstalling windows and save them to a usb drive. It just makes things a little easier.

Ok thanks, so all I need to do is perform a clean install, then download all of the latest drivers for my new components from the internet?

Okay, thanks a lot, really did help. I will be sure to download the drivers on a USB stick before installing windows :) Thanks again for your help :)
