I am going to be performing a motherboard swap soon and I have heard that you need to reinstall Windows. Is there any other solution to this? I have heard that you can just uninstall all drivers and reinstall them after you have done the swap. Will this affect performance in any way?

Update 1 - The motherboard I am currently using is has a H97 chipset, and the new one has a Z97.

Oh. Thanks! You've hopefully saved me a load of time.
