Looking to upgrade my PC and will be buying a new MOBO and CPU.Question i have is what will i have to do with my SSD to make sure everything runs correctly?. Mainly my concern is will windows run properly after putting new MOBO/CPU.Will my UEFI bios auto adjust settings to new hardware?.Should i format windows and if so do i just go to windows settings and do a "delete all files reset" or do i actually have to format and erase data on the drive and then reinstall windows from a flash drive?.
Upgrading PC will i have to format?

New motherboard, a clean install is always recommended, sometimes required.
Prepare for this.
