Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I have a question regarding Windows XP. I have an OEM Windows XP at the moment on my PC. I am deciding to upgrade (only) its CPU to a more powerful one.
The question is, do I have to reinstall Windows XP after that or is it ok if its just the CPU being changed?
Also, if I change the mobo+CPU, would it be necessary then?
Thanks for any answers.
Edit: For more clarity I am using E6600 now which I am planning to swap for a Q6600.
