Reinstall windows after cpu upgrade?

[gusgusgames408]

I am going to be upgrading my athlon ii x4 635 to a phenom ii x6 1090t and I was wondering will it identify the cpu and ask me to reinstall or will I have to maually install windows again?

Are you using the same motherboard? If so, you should be fine. If You you are changing your motherboard, you should do a fresh install.

Yes it will be on the same motherboard, thank you!
