Are there any software issues I may/should deal with when doing a full system upgrade? I’m going from AM4 to AM5, so new CPU, motherboard and RAM.
It should be pretty straightforward under Linux, right? Just swap my drives over and boot up? I’ve only ever done single upgrades at a time, never a full generation.
I did a similar upgrade last year. I don’t recall any problems under Debian. I now have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which my old mobo did not support.
Of course, you should be sure to do a full backup.
I don’t have anything important to back up, I would just like to avoid reinstalling everything, particularly my Steam library.
If I can save myself the trouble, that’s all I want. I know Windows doesn’t like that kind of upgrades and you end up with a ton of useless drivers sitting around for nothing, but I haven’t been on Windows in a couple years.
