It depends on the setup. If you get OEM windows prebuilt for your specific motherboard model, they’re usually tied to that hardware. Otherwise, transferring them to a new system might not work without reconfiguration. Let me know if you need more details!

With Windows 10, you can link your Microsoft account to the keyboard. If you replace the motherboard later, you’ll need to log in again and choose an option like "New build or hardware change."

OEM keys purchased from Microsoft can be moved to new devices, yet remain tied to your Microsoft profile forever.

It is noted that you can now connect your Windows key to your Microsoft account through the activation options in Windows. Refer to the Microsoft guide for reactivating Windows 10 after hardware modifications.
