I'm going to be building a new pc soon. I'll be keeping the old hard drive (Also gpu and ram), but I'm getting a new mobo. I'm not exactly sure what to do though. Do I have to reinstall Windows or just uninstall my old motherboard drivers? If I have to uninstall the old drivers, how do I know which ones to uninstall? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

your better off backing up your personal data and doing a clean wipe and reinstall of windows. when you get your mb there going to be a driver cd. check online for the newest drivers. for all pc mb there be ethernet drivers and sound drivers on the cd. on the cd if there 3 party usb chipset like asmedia it have drivers. for amd mb it have the amd chipset drivers. for intel mb you have the intel chipset inf drivers and mei drivers. check the age of the drivers on the cd with ones on the mb vendor web page and chipset vendors web page. windows 10 will install fine now with there newest iso. when it boots to the desktop if it online it pull drivers into itself. if there no missing drivers check the drivers age in windows device manager or just run the installer to put the newest drivers into windows.
