Remember reinstalling Windows after changing your CPU? Here’s why you don’t have to anymore
Years ago, computing was much harder to deal with, especially when upgrading parts. One frustration was the need to reinstall Windows when switching CPUs because of a quirk of Windows's architecture that didn't go away until Windows 8's release. Yes, the tile-based Start menu might have ruffled some feathers, but the underlying changes to Windows were a net benefit. Nowadays, you don't need to reinstall your operating system after swapping CPUs. You don't even need to reinstall it when changing your motherboard or switching between manufacturers. Let's discuss why and how much better this makes computing overall.
