Are you just upgrading the CPU? There shouldn't be anything you need to do other than turn off the PC, swap CPU's, and turn the PC back on...

But I'll leave the final answer to others...

If you are only upgrading the CPU, you do not need to reinstall windows :)

Yeah, you should be all set. Just pop it in and go. However, I would recommed upgrading the BIOS to insure compatibility with such a new chip.
