Hi,

I’ve seen a few people say it’ll be fine, I’ve heard that it is a terrible decision. Could I take my m.2 SSD out of my current AMD PC and put it directly into my new intel system? Should I reset it to default windows first and get rid of programs and drivers? Could use some advice. Thanks!

Wipe it, start fresh.

If you dont, youll just end up with a buggy system that you end up wiping in 6 months time anyway.

All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
Give competitors’ recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don’t be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you’re worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you’re using.
