When installing a new Mobo....

lawz · 2 Oct 2007 at 08:57

...is it pertinent to make sure every driver associated with the old board is removed before starting to take it all out and put a new one in?

Same question for graphics card, but I know for the graphics card I can just go into its hardware properties and click remove driver, but im not 100% sure how to find and delete all the motherboard drivers in the proper manner.

Any help would be most appreciated

Indeed, it will probably boot but expect BSOD's and random error's for no apparent reason.

It can be done but by the time you've figured out why it won't boot, or boots and then reboots, done a repair etc.... you could have in fact done a clean install. Clean install is the way to go unless the replacement board isn't that dis-similar to the old.

Just to ensure you get the point

Do a fresh reinstall of the operating system on the new hardware.
