Best Answer

I would not call it complicated, but it can be time consuming. You do have to remove the components that connect to the motherboard (including the processor), and reinstall them to the new one.

Swapping out the processor is a simple job, but making sure that the new processor is supported by the existing motherboard can be tricky. You have to take into account, not only the motherboard model, but its revision and bios version.
