Mobo swap from am3 to z370.

Recently just swapped out everything, and it booted directly into win 10 with 0 issues. Should I still reinstall win 10?

Pretty lucky. You would be wise to, yes. But if you install the correct drivers now and do a CCleaner run (Clean & Registry both), you might save yourself the trouble.

For anyone else that comes across this in the future...do not take this as a confirmation of "It always works!".

Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
Sometimes it works, but you see lingering issues later.

You might have issues down the road, and you'll always wonder if running off the old installation was the problem.
Although I've done it myself and had no problems. But not on a machine I depend on.

I've seen all 3 cases.
My wifes system right now is at the level of "it works, but you see lingering issues later."

Win 10 Pro on a 250GB SSD, with a minimal software stack should NOT take 2-3 minutes to boot up.
Changing from a Pentium G840 to an i3-8100.

My main system last year was "Nope, not gonna boot up, no way, no how."
Changing from a Z77/i5-3570k to a Z97/i7-4790k.

Win 10 seems to be a lot more forgiving that way than Win7 was. Win7 would hardly ever boot going between extremely dissimilar platforms. Win10 seems to "reconstitute" itself much better. But like you, I would recommend against it unless one just wants to do it for kicks. And never on a machine that one depends on.
