Going from AMD to Intel without reinstalling windows 10

[richard1555]

Hello everyone.

I'm upgrading my gaming rig soon from AMD FX to Intel Skylake. I really don't want to reinstall windows 10 so i was wondering if it is indeed possible to not have to do that.

My current specs are:
CPU: AMD FX 6100
RAM: 4GB Ripjaws DDR3 1600Mhz
Mobo: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
GPU: EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC

My new specs will be:
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB 3000Mhz
Mobo: ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero Alpha
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX1070 O8G

Thank you to everyone that comments.

Richard

You're going to need to do a clean install. Totally different set of drivers going from old hardware to the new hardware.
