New motherboard. When to install new drivers, uninstall old drivers
I am about to replace the motherboard/CPU in my system from an old ASUS P9X79PRO/Intel 3930K, with an ASUS ROG X570 Strix-E/AMD 3900X. I have read that Windows can automatically install new drivers.
So, that all said, I still have these questions:
Is it better to simply let Windows do all the driver installs for the new motherboard, or to install drivers that I download from the ASUS website?
Should I install the AMD motherboard drivers into Windows before switching out the motherboard? Is that even OK?
If Windows installs all new drivers, can I or should I still install drivers from the ASUS website.
After my system is up and running OK with the new motherboard, can I or should I uninstall the old Intel motherboard drivers? How would I identify these drivers?
Am I overthinking this problem?
