my programs and files from my old motherboard (like its OS, drivers, etc), do i need to format it? or whats the best way should i do?

Hi there rovelle26,

Your system will most probably not boot. In that case, you will need to perform a clean OS install. Just keep in mind that you need to back up the data stored on the drive first.
