Hi everyone, I am planning on building a new PC. The only things I’m planning on transferring from my old build are my hard drives. Will I have any problem putting my OS drive with Linux mint right into a whole new PC? My other question is if I use my current Linux OS drive do I have to remove the old GPU and CPU drivers? I’m sticking with an nvidia card but I will be switching from Intel to AMD. I know in Windows you have to use software to fully remove GPU drivers before using a new one.

    I did something similar recently and found it was an easy drop-in situation… so you’ll likely be okay.

    I upgraded my CPU on my debian server. Went from i5-4690K and RX 480 to just an i5-12600K.

    I could see a potential issue if the WiFi card is different and you’re not hard wired.
