Hi all, I just bought a new motherboard and I’ll be buying a new CPU, too. The current one is a gigabyte 520i AC AM4 with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G on it currently. The new one is also gigabyte 550M AM4 and the new processor is Ryzen 7 5800xt. I currently dual boot Cachy OS and windows 11. Each has their own boot partition and I use grub. I’m going to bring everything over from the old mobo except the cpu that will stay on it since it’s going into another pc. Meaning, I’m bringing my SSDs and all that. Will I need to reinstall (please say no lol)? Will it be just plug and play or will I need to fiddle with a live environment to chroot?
Please let me know if you need more info. Thank you in advance.

    probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works

    very different story for windows installations though 🤮

      I’ve honestly had a lot of luck booting a Windows SSD on different computers.

        I love your comment. So reassuring. Lol. I HAVE moved SSDs before where it was only Linux, in this case I’m worried about it because it’s a dualboot
