    cpu upgrade - w10 wont boot

    Replacing disks is no problem.

    In my experience, replacing motherboards almost always results in crashes.

    You could run this experiment:

    • Create an image of your System partition. Store in on an external USB disk.
    • Insert the new CPU.
    • Install Windows. I bet that it will work flawlessly.
    • Restore the image you created in Step 1.

    INCORRECT CPU FREQUENCY READING

    Hello Muhammad,

    CPU usage depends on the applications that are open to your device. To isolate the problem, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

    • Can you include a screenshot of the CPU reading?
    • Have you tried performing a
      clean boot       to eliminate software conflicts?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Looking forward to your response.
