Do I need to upgrade all parts to upgrade CPU?
This was a PC I built back in 2013 and still on Win7. I never really wanted to upgrade because I hated the look and feel of win10/11 but the inevitable has finally come and I need to upgrade the OS even though I would still love to keep using win7.
I have a i5-4670k CPU and I'm assuming this is too old for win10/11? I am on a really tight budget so I just want to upgrade the CPU. Would I be able to get away with just upgrading my CPU or do i need to do a complete rehaul? :(
If it does require a complete new setup is it worth the upgrade or should I just get a new budget pc/laptop?
