Desire to enhance CPU performance through overclocking
Yep. Even Windows 10 is linked directly to your motherboard. If you have a working Windows key, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. If you run into trouble, just call them and they'll fix it. It usually takes about 10 minutes.
If it is genuinely an improvement, it could have been made after your motherboard was launched. In that scenario, your motherboard would require a BIOS update to support booting with that CPU.
If it came out before your motherboard was released, compatibility isn't guaranteed.
In either case, if you decide to keep using that motherboard and install a new CPU, you'll need to update your BIOS to work with the new processor.

Ensure your BIOS is updated to the latest release prior to installing the new CPU. This is crucial.
