Hi guys . I just finished building my new PC . The only hardware I used from my previous build was my Samsung SSD . I turned the PC on and expected to have to reinstall my windows 7 but was kinda surprised that it loaded up to the login screen . But I am wondering what I should do ? Do I need to reinstall the operating system ? What about the motherboard drivers etc ? What do I need to to to get the PC running optimal ?

I would suggest to go ahead and reinstall windows, because it will still be trying to run some of the things that are specific to your old computer. It won't cause errors as long as you also are sure to update the drivers for your new hardware, but it's just extra crap running that doesn't need to
