AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

I don't pretend to be an expert on the subject but when you install windows there is something called the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) where windows I guess the kernel(??) maps it's self to the architecture of you're CPU.

If you are switching between CPU's I'd always do a reformat.

I have never done a reformat simply for switching a CPU on the same mobo... sounds like BS to me unless I see some hard evidence.
