Simple question:

Are all Skylake Intel CPUs interchangeable/compatible

No. I mean they should, but that doesn't mean they are.

Maybe. It depends on the mobo and what it supports.

A software program called CPU-Z will reveal all.

Sure, once you know the mobo, you can google the compat list and see what it will support.

Under CPU-Z there will be a tab called "mainboard", then a line that says "model"

That's the mobo model. Post it here and I can find you the CPU support list

There is a string of letters, and a load of numbers in a separate column, but on the same line

Lenovo. Ugh. That's standard for them. Support will be dicey. Give me some time to find the support list

I had the Pentium G4400 version

then added another 8 gb of DDR4 2400 (Might be relavant)

I then installed the i3 6100

That's fine, but not in that system, it's not pin compatible.

On *most* Lenovo systems there is a tiny B/W sticker that gives a model number, see if you can find that and post it
