Hi, your friend should generally be fine with the FX 8350 even if the CPU changes. Both the FX 4100 and 8350 are AMD processors, so the drivers should work similarly. The main concern would be ensuring the new graphics card is compatible with the system, especially since it's coming from eBay and might have slight variations. If you install Windows after the swap, check for any driver updates or conflicts related to the new CPU model.

Usually, no, CPUs rarely come with drivers. Chipset drivers might vary between different CPUs, but that’s uncommon. I recommend updating your BIOS and drivers—everything should work then.
