Upgrading to Ryzen 5 1500X

[Patti]

Currently i have an FX 6300 which is failing to hold its weight in todays games. I will be upgrading to a Ryzen 1500X. I just need to help and some steps on how to upgrade my processor. I know how to take the mobo and processor out, but what i need help with is when i plug everything up for the first time, do i have to install windows first? or bois updates? i dont know where to go after i install the cpu. thanks
