I'm upgrading my computer specifically my motherboard and CPU. So after I physically install my motherboard what exactly do I do?
I'm pretty sure I would have to reinstall windows but is there any other big or small steps I would need to do or any tips would be helpful thanks

Take everything that's in the way out, keep yourself grounded, install the motherboard, insert CPU, install heatsink properly, plug everything in, reinstall Windows, not much else. If you have issues I would be happy to help, but there's nothing too complicated. Just make sure to use the standoffs so you don't short circuit it.
