Heya and Welcome to the Forums!

Since you are dual booting this is harder to do but I usually keep a Clonezilla backup of the HDD for a quick clone to a new machine.
I do not put the proprietary drivers on it though, just in case I change hardware. ;)

Cheers!

Ok thanks when I'll be making a change I'll be prepared to have a bootable usb drive to make a clean install if anything happens. :)

Depends what graphics card you have, vs. which one you buy.

Great! Thanks for telling me that but would i have to do a clean install after changing my graphics card because i might need to buy one very soon.
By the way so far I'm loving my Linux Lite experience everything works much better than in Windows I didn't have to go back to my Windows drive until yesterday but that was emergency situation (I had to make bootable USB drive) so thanks for developing awesome system :D

I'd take the same approach with a new CPU that was different enough from the previous (socket type). Clean install.

Well i was reinstalling the Linux again and again and again and now it finally works (at least for now). I have good backups so no worries no data was lost in this process. Yes i'm aware that there might have been just a much simper solution to all of this like some terminal magic but I'm a new Linux user so i don't know how to do that yet and the google was very unhelpful too. I'm glad that my PC works again fine so i hope that's end of this whatever this is :D. My rant about broken computerz

Hi
So i bought myself a Ryzen 3 1300x on sale to replace my A6-9500 and now i can't boot from my linux drive but everything works just fine i booted my windows 10 drive and it works. Windows sees all my ext4 drives (of course i can't use them cuz windoz doesn't like ext4). When i force it in bios to boot from my linux ssd all i see is blinking _
Do i have to reinstall my linux or is there something i can do about it?
