So I'm wanting to upgrade my friends CPU for xmas, he currently has an MSI pro series Intel B250 motherboard and an Intel Pentium G series 3.5 GHz dual core processor and I'm wanting to get him either a core i5 7500 or core i7 7700 (depending on cyber Monday prices) now I've checked socket types and checked the motherboards site to make sure it was compatible and it is and I know how to physically swap the CPUs
The problem I'm having and that I keep finding different answers to is do I need to uninstall current CPU drivers before swapping? Some say yes some say no, and some say I will have to reinstall Windows, is that true? Also unplug from the wall before doing it also right?
