After I watching Britec's video on "Change Motherboard Without Fresh Install of Windows", I recently wanted to upgrade my current motherboard and cpu. In addition to that, I did not want to go through a fresh install of Windows again...
Following what Britec did by going into Control Panel -> Uninstall or Change Programs, I can't seem to find anything that's related to my current motherboard in there. What do I do, is this possible?
So then the next step was go into Device manager.
Watching the video a pop up saying "Remove all chipset drivers, video card drivers, sound card drivers, usb drivers, ide & atapi serial controllers and basically any drivers that could conflict with new hardware.
Do I go ahead and delete everything that he opens in the device manager that goes under that category? Would the uninstallation of of the USB controllers, Storage controllers, Network adaptors, IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers be enough? Or is there more?
Thanks for the help in advance!
