      Can I simply take the MicroSD out of my Pi 3 B with Retropie 4.4 and put it in a B+ without changes? I have not yet implemented any overclocking (as I have not installed heatsinks or a fan), so I don't have to worry about that yet.

      System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

        If you used the 4.4 RetroPie image released back in April as the basis for the image, then it should be ok. You might have to reconfigure the Wifi, but the image should be compatible.

          @mitu wifi should be fine as its the same username and password. The ip address will be different. The bluetooth devices if any would need to be redone.
