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.

    So, I’m guessing I’ll need to figure out the exact paths for both boot partitions for both OSs? That way in case I needed to manually add them I will?

      No, just match the settings. There’s really no good way to recover if it’s broken; I’ve never been successful at fixing it and I always end up reinstalling. If the settings match you won’t have to do anything at all.
