So I am thinking about upgrading my motherboard since it's basically the last thing in my PC that came as "stock" when I ordered it (that and the RAM), and since I've been doing my homework on the matter, I see a lot of people saying to backup your data and that you'll have to re-install windows and all that jazz and I'm wondering If I would be an exception to that.
The Stock motherboard that my system came with (or at least what I think it came with, it's a hard one to track down) is a MSI-7641 version 4.0 and the motherboard I am thinking of upgrading to is an MSI-970A Gaming Pro Carbon.
For other little specs, I use an FX-8370 eight core processor, an Nvidia 960 strix graphics card, a 7200 rpm SATA 1 TB hard drive and windows 10.
Since I am upgrading to what I would assume would just be a newer model of motherboard (same base drivers since it's the same company, MSI, and such), am I right in thinking that everything should go smoothly if I were to simply swap them out?
