CPU Replacement Help

[Matt Polak]

I am planning on switching out my CPU in my PC and was wondering if I do switch out my CPU will it delete any of the data on my PC or can I just replace it without worrying.

No data is stored on the CPU. As long as it's the same socket model it's as simple as swapping the two over

No worries ! The data are on storage as hdd and ssd . System data in BIOS

No, it won't delete any of your data, but.....

Changing from what, to what? A reinstall of the OS may be necessary, depending on what you are actually wanting.

It's the same socket, and same make. Both your hardware and software will be fine.

You should be fine. But be prepared for the worst.
