this question is not similar to this, because the other one is about one pc in specific and mine is about any pc.
I have found a intel core i7 octa core (with Intel vpro) in a screen damaged pc so i am interested in upgrade my current i5 dual dual core processor.
I have been researching a little about What does one have to consider before upgrading my laptop´s CPU, and i have found that the only i need to verify is if the new procesor is compatible with the actual socket.
I want to know if this is the only consideration that i must have when installing the processor and what may happen If something goes wrong?
