i have a new asus m5a97 motherboard and fx-6300 processor on the way
if i reinstall: is there a way to pull the patches from the current install for quicker patching? (like maybe the window sxs folder?) (as opposed to going through 6+ hours patching over windows update)
if i dont reinstall: can i just remove the drivers shutdown install the new hardware and go from there?
