Hi, I have a PC upgrade on the way for which I am planning to use for gaming and visual effects work. Old specs are GTX 1660, Ryzen 5 5600X. New specs are i7 14700F RTX 5070. I have an ssd in my current pc (the old one), which I would like to keep all of its contents if possible when moving to the new pc. I have done some research which says that I may need a fresh install of windows in order for there to be no driver issues as I am moving from an amd cpu to an intel cpu. I was also wondering about what drivers would be needed as when it arrives in a week or so I would like the change to be as smooth as possible.

Notes: remove other drives besides boot drive when installing. The installer will sometimes put the EFI boot partition on a different drive, forever tethering those 2 drives together with that install
