Is upgrading a I5 12400F with a B660 Motherboard to a I7 12700KF going to have problems or is the motherboard compatible with it? I am very new to PC upgrading.

    It’ll work

    Is this a system used for gaming? If it is, changing to a 13600k or 14600k would get you better results

      A 12700 is only around 5-10% slower than a 13600k in games, and the 14600k is only an incremental bump from the 13th gen part. I’d question how big an upgrade ANY of the CPUs listed would be from the 12400, really depends on the workload and costs involved.
