upgrading cpu, z270 with i7 7700k

[Wap]

i have a asus z270a and an i5 6500, can i install an i7 7700k cpu into my mobo with no problems? just stick it in and my pc will work as before but with new cpu?

Yes. Your Z270 support up to 7700K and you don't have to worry about bios update.

Yes Z270 was made for i7-7700K.

will windows work normally? or will i have to reinstall?

Most of the time it will work without a reinstall. But every once in a while I see some people with issues that won't go away until a reinstall.
