What do I do installing my Motherboard?

[Con6612]

Right, so this CPU: http://prntscr.com/c64lmk
And this Mobo: http://prntscr.com/c64mjm
These are what I'm looking at, this is final.

What will happen when I change Motherboard? I have a small idea (Welcome to Instructables) Of how to change a motherboard physically, but will anything else have to be changed?

Will I have to tinker with anything else, like BIOS or something? Or will it just work like it did but it with a lot more power under the belt?

Changing the motherboard?
What do you have now?

You likely need to reinstall the OS.
You may even need to purchase a whole new OS.

What do you have now? Full parts list, please, incl the existing OS and where it came from.

I mean taking out my current one, and installing a new one.

And new CPU, new RAM...
Almost certainly this means a new install of the OS.
It may mean you have to purchase a new OS license, depending on what you have now. OEM or Retail.

I have a retail copy of Windows. They still sell Windows 7 I hope, I'm not touching Windows 8/10. I've had bad experience with both.
