I moved from intel to amd without reformatting

[Phen8210]

Upgraded to win 10 before swapping out the parts, first boot was fine detected all the hardware and stuff before going into windows, no bsod or hangs.

i have uninstalled many drivers from control panel and device manager (show hidden) including the old processor, audio, usb drivers etc and anything with intel in the name.

I have installed the new drivers, It's running fine and everything, but i noticed there is 69 svchost.exe running under processes.. is that normal?

Normal. I also migrated without a hiccup.

Win 10 made it easier to migrate from one system to another because it will automatically detect the hardware and install the appropriate drivers. However, I still recommend doing a clean install because the registry will likely be quite messy when this happens which may result in some instability.

I prefer to clean install everything. It gives me a lean and powerful system.
