You're on Windows 10 upgrading your components. Your existing drives and graphics card will remain functional. The OS should still boot, though you may need to re-enter your key during setup. It's generally safe to follow the prompts for a fresh installation when upgrading hardware. No special steps are required beyond that.
The issue of windows turning on is not a cause for concern. You can reinsert your key or link activation to your MS account. However, after installing a new motherboard, you may need to reinstall windows. A new processor isn't required, but windows doesn't manage driver switching flawlessly. It will likely start, though you might encounter problems with conflicting drivers and outdated ones.
My RAM just came back online (the motherboard and CPU were safely placed in a new case for two weeks), so I need to get everything set up right now. I’ll have to scan my OS drive for any files or data I don’t already have elsewhere. I was counting on Windows handling this well, but I’m aware it’s quite demanding of an operating system. Usually I keep formatting regularly just in case, since I don’t rely on registry cleaners and it feels good to give the system a thorough clean from time to time.
