I am about too install some new parts for my pc and I was wondering what drivers do I need to uninstall ? Also since Gigabyte motherboards are windows 10 ready, I shouldnt have to reinstall a OS right?

When doing a major hardware change like that you will probably have to reinstall windows. It is way more than just swapping a GPU from AMD to Nvidia where all you have to do is uninstall the old cards drivers before you put the new one in (You can get away with not doing it sometimes but it is a really good idea). So do not expect windows to boot after you do the upgrades. Have all your data backed up already so you can just reinstall windows and go on with your life.

Win 10 or not, are you prepared for a full reinstall of the OS?
