Question monitor not working after cpu swap

[billgoldberg14]

I previously had an i3-10100 cpu installed on my asus prime b460-plus motherboard, and I swapped it out with an i7-10700kf cpu. After the swap I powered it on and everything sounded normal but I never got a display on my monitor. I put the old cpu back in to see if it would work and sure enough it did. I upgraded bios to the latest version and put the new CPU back in and got the same thing, nothing on the monitor. I took a guess and hit f1 to go into setup for bios (same thing I had to do when I put the old cpu back in) and hit f10 to exit bios and sure enough it booted right up and I was able to RDP to it. The display driver says it's the latest available, not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running windows 10 if that matters.

Let's get the full list of specs to start.

I figured it out. Turns out the cpu doesn't have "integrated graphics" and I couldn't use the vga/hdmi ports built into the motherboard. I had to install a video card and use that instead. I was unaware that was something that could happen.

Yup, that was definitely one of the reasons I was asking. It's a common thing. Intel CPUs with "F" in the name don't have integrated graphics and until the most recent AMD generation, *only* AMD CPUs with "G" in the name had integrated graphics (and that goes back decades).
