Upgrading Cpu on OEM windows 7?

[Herolies]

i have a window 7 OEM on (at least i think i have OEM cause it show OEM on the activation key or product ID) i have i3-2100 and i'm planning to upgrade to a i5-3570k (using my PC for gaming and other programs like after effect,etc and normal use to like internet browse DUH!) will there be any problems? since this is a OEM or do i need a retail version of windows? thanks in advance.

No, no problems just from upgrading the CPU, but, assuming that it's not a 7 series board (Z77, Z75, H77, etc.), you'll need a BIOS update first while you still have the 2100 installed, if you didn't already know that (the 3570K won't work in a 6 series board without it).

You're good to go, actually. No need to update the BIOS of that board (it's a 7 series board, being B75).

I just assumed that you would have a 6 series board, since you have an i3 2100, but I'm guessing that this was a newer build.

Thanks A lot!!
