I did some searches but could not find what I was looking for.
I am going to install a new mobo & CPU in my system and I currently don't have a lot of time to do a full format and reinstall right now. I remember someone mentioning a program built into Windows that will essentially erase the drivers from the current install. Then you would shut down, change hardware and then start up. Windows would then allow you to install the new drivers.
I was wondering if someone here knows what program this is or something similar. This sounds a lot easier and faster than trying to do a "repair".
btw, I will be backing everything up first no matter what just because I don't trust anything like this. I will also do a full format/reinstall at a later date, I just don't really have the time and feel like putting the effort into doing a total reinstall right now.
