So I'm currently moving from my 4770k to a 3950x, what's the best way with least data damage to keep my old win 10 + data to move to the 3950x.
I've seen on Microsoft support forums that you should just be able to boot straight into the drive with little issue but you need to delete old drivers and reinstall new
I've also seen elsewhere, that isn't the best idea because it can cause conflicts which if happens means a fresh install/repair
Which leads me onto the seemingly best non conflict options of a completely fresh install (I did backup everything just in case) or for some slightly less inconvenience the repair option which should keep all files/settings
Wondering if any issues actually can arise from the repair option as I'd prefer keeping settings or if completely fresh is the only way to go ? Or is sorting drivers out from prior setup and new setup totally viable now with win10 thus saving the installing of everything else ?
Thanks
