Do I have to reinstall Windows 10 after changing motherboard?
I'm going to swap my MSI Z270A PRO motherboard for MSI Z270 Gaming M3. I'm doing this because A PRO simpy looks bad, it's brown and has terrible LED on left side, new mobo will look much better in my case etc. if you wonder. Do I have to reinstall windows 10 after replacing my old mobo? It's the same manufacter, same chipset, has the same BIOS and drivers. I just want to know because I'll get my hands on new mobo in Monday so in case I have to reinstall I'll do it at Sunday evening and save myself some time.

Yes when the system is not in a broken scenario; boot into the system as-is
Control Panel > Programs and Features
Now everything related to hardware drivers & software from your current Motherboard, Audio, GPU... uninstall everything for those until all are gone (may require a few reboots) basically anything and everything for say; Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, (and the branded board; like ASUS, MSI, etc.) Realtek, Creative... yes ALL of those.

Once all is gone, shutdown and swap Motherboards.

If the new Motherboard causes Win10 to trip up and not re-activate, call the MS Tech Support 1-800 # (for you Region) and explain that your old Motherboard died and now its failing to re-activate, they can easily walk you through this and help you get that sorted out.

When new motherboard is installed, make sure to double/triple check the BIOS before entering your OS.

When done at this point, now download all latest Drivers for everything your new board has (Chipset, Audio, LAN, USB, WiFi, RGB/Fan Software, etc) and then lastly, clean installing the GPU Driver. And you should be totally fine.

Ill flashed my rx480 with rx580 bios. So i flash it back if i do any change at the hw.

U don't need to ever flash it back, period. All you're doing is wasting time.
GPUs that were able to be flashed in that manner as which you have done, are fine to leave this way forever now.
Is there any program that will uninstall all the drivers at once?

No

It takes literally a few minutes of your time.

If you un-sure, add me and I can have a look and give you 100% accurate feedback and what to remove / re-install.
