Is it ok to swap front USB panel for identical unit?
Kind of a weird situation here. I've got a Fractal Define Mini C micro atx case and the power button was kinda squishy, so I ordered another case and swapped the front panel (I'm a bit OCD). This front panel has a couple USB 3.0 connections as well as a mic/headphone jack, power and reset button.
After doing this, when I booted into windows it said it was installing new hardware and then asked me to restart. I did, and everything seems to work fine. But, my concern is that perhaps I've jacked up some driver file or something similar. I didn't realize that Windows would identify a seemingly identical front panel as new hardware, so is it ok to swap this thing out after Windows has been installed or do I need to reformat and reinstall Windows to ensure I don't run into issues?
I'm running a relatively fresh install so it wouldn't be a huge deal to reinstall Windows if it meant potentially avoiding some kind of conflicts whatever. Is this necessary, or even potentially a good thing (to reformat after doing this), or is there nothing to worry about?
