Upgrading the CPU should not cause any problems or require any software changes.

Assuming the BIOS detects /identifies the CPU correctly, you can try to simply boot the system...

The OS might be confused at the increase in core/thread count...

If so, and if you can get to the control panel/device mngr, you might be able to delete the CPU entries, hit reset, and let them be redetected at next power on...

Most likely you will have to update your chipset drivers and should be good after that. I have only had one instance where I swapped from an i3 to i7 and the system refused to recognize the change. It led to a variety of problems which were quickly solved with a fresh install.

Please give us a full rundown of ALL the parts in this, both before and after.
