Hi everyone, I am planning on building a new PC. The only things I’m planning on transferring from my old build are my hard drives. Will I have any problem putting my OS drive with Linux mint right into a whole new PC? My other question is if I use my current Linux OS drive do I have to remove the old GPU and CPU drivers? I’m sticking with an nvidia card but I will be switching from Intel to AMD. I know in Windows you have to use software to fully remove GPU drivers before using a new one.

    Are you installing the system on this hard drives? If not and they’re just attachments for additional storage, then you should have no problem.

    If there’s an OS installed on them that you want the data from and you didn’t separate your /home folder, you’ll have to copy that data to another drive, remove/replace the OS installation, and then copy the data back.
