i have a computer that i dont use because i have a new one but the old one has a better proccessor than my new on so my question is if i transfer the proccessor from my old on to the new one will i by chance need thermal paste because im guessing since it was working, and i upgraded computer i can just take out the processor and just put it my new one and it should be just fine but i want to be sure and i haven't had the old computer for over a year so its still pretty new
what do you guys think?

thanks for reading :)

Just like USAF said yes.

And you need NEW thermal paste, never ever use used thermal paste.
