1) you can install a new processor if a) your motherboard will support it b) it is the right type of socket or slot

2)you do not need to re-install anything for a new processor.. the only time you need to re-install is when changing hard drives

3)a faster CPU may help, depending on to what type it is, and sometimes more ram does the trick also..

Yes, it may give you a message when you boot into Windows after the installation of the new hardware saying, "Change in Hardware, please reactivate Windows," and all you have to do is give Microsoft a call and they'll activate it for you.

Should you upgrade the core 2 duo processor in your MacBook Pro or just upgrade the ram to 8 gb?

See, an RAM upgrade will give you the power to run more programs without any lag. If your current computer runs without hanging and you just want a speed boost then you may consider an upgrade in the processor. I recommend you to see Intel i3-3200 processor. It is much better then core2duo and not very expensive.

No. Unless you are making major changes to your system's hardware, for example, replacing the hard drive, proccessor and motherboard at the same time, reinstalling the OS is not necessary. Sometimes even making major changes to the hardware will work ok without any reinstalling. The exception being if you replace the hard drive that contains the OS.

Is there anyway to improve a computer processor speed without buying a new processor?

Usually, a computer is sold with the minimum amount of Random Access Memory installed for the computer to work properly. Increasing the amount of memory will usually result in much faster processing. If that is not sufficient, it may be possible to overclock the processor, but that is extremely dangerous, and can result in the processor burning up. Do not attempt this without skilled assistance.
