you can just plug in your new one.

What CPU are you upgrading to?

You may need to update your BIOS first before you install a new one.

You can't just plug in any CPU, here is a link to compatible CPU's for your board https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H97M-D3H-rev-10/support#support-cpu
Watch some YouTube video's on replacing your CPU.
You can get USED CPU's on Ebay or AliExpress (China) Your max CPU's are Core i7-4790K or Xeon E3-1281 V3 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/328...chweb0_0,searchweb201602_9,searchweb201603_53
