I have a Desktop PC that I got from Best Buy a few years back, and I'm looking to change the motherboard out because it's got that crappy FM2 socket and it's no good for gaming. Someone that I know has an FX-4100 motherboard/CPU combo that I was thinking about switching mine out for. How would I go about that? Is it as simple as just putting the new motherboard in with the CPU attached? Or will I need to reinstall windows. Both being AMD, I was hoping not. Also, would all my programs and files be safe?
Thanks so much for the help, I've just started getting into this stuff!!
