Problem description: As the title says I recently replaced every single part of my PC apart from the SSD. It has windows 10 and all drivers from my last MOBO / GPU whatever. I installed new drivers as I found them on the website of my MOBO manufacturer. After I did so everything seems so be working pretty well. Now my question is: should I have deleted all the old drivers first? Is there an easy way to delete all pre-existing drivers without having to identify / locate every single one of them? Attempted fixes: My finger is hovering over the sysprep button, but im angsty -- Operating system: windows 10 System specs: ASUS Z170i PRO GAMING MOBO, i5-6600k, 660 GTX, GEIL RAM, OCZ VERTEX 4 SSD Location: Belgium I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes Mikojan fucked around with this message at 19:15 on May 15, 2016 |

When you're essentially replacing the computer (Motherboard/Processor specifically, but since you've replaced literally everything...) you should reinstall windows. Copy any data that you want to keep from your SSD to another drive, then reinstall windows (which will include formatting the SSD). Keeping the old windows install around can just lead to weird issues that will crop up later. Re-installing windows won't take all that long, especially with an SSD. If you do decide to go this route, make sure when you go to install windows that you only leave the SSD connected, or windows will (un)helpfully put critical files onto the secondary drive, despite most of the OS living on the SSD.
