I am going to replace my old motherboard that is a Asus H81M-D Plus to a Asus Z270-A Prime and I was wondering how I replace my motherboard with out the risk of losing data. One person said to uninstall all of the motherboard drivers and I do not know what my drivers are, the only ones I found is a audio and LAN driver and I am not sure if Intel rapid Storage technology is one of them. If anybody can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

You're not just changing the motherboard, but also the CPU and RAM, at the very least.
