No you do not. Your Operating System is loaded on your harddisk drive. Nothing is loaded onto the CPU. ....Until you Power On Self Test ------Boot the computer. Then ALL the instructions loaded run thru the CPU....You are replacing your Central Processing Unit? Right? The largest "chip" on the motherboard.

No you dont have to re-install the OS if you change the CPU. The files on your hard drive will not be disturbed in any way.
