Windows 10 is linked to the computer's hardware, so activation might depend on your system specs. There could be issues if there are compatibility problems.

Replacing the Mobo updates the system in Microsoft's records, preventing online activation during a fresh Windows 10 install. Your current Windows 10 won't be seen as authentic if you simply connect the old drive. First, upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1, then proceed with the free upgrade to Windows 10 easily. After activation via Microsoft servers, you can format and install Windows 10 directly from an ISO file. You might also find guidance at the provided forum link.

But if you open MS and mention the swap, they might be able to reactivate it for you.
