    Hi,

    wanted to try out something with a friends pc.

    Will a pc have a problem with a cpu change - swap out and re-fit an exact same cpu - will it boot ok or will it need a re-install. ??
    Would this cause any problems ?

    thanks

    It'll boot fine. No re-install needed.

    Reminds me of a dozy twit I once knew. Luckily he was just practising building with some broken parts, but I still laughed my head off
