Anything special to deal with if upgrading CPU generation?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I swapped the boot drive from a 1st gen i7 machine to a threadripper machine and it worked without any issues. I was using the default kernel on Linux Mint.
If you have any temperature monitoring or custom fan control stuff, you will need to reconfigure it though.
