You're preparing an upgrade from a Ryzen 3 3100 to a Ryzen 5 7600 and have several concerns about your setup. If you transfer your M.2 drive between different MOBOs, it should work properly and remain the same. Your Windows key won't help, but your login should stay consistent. Desktop shortcuts and apps should still be accessible. Since you're on Windows 10 with a non-Microsoft account, upgrading to Windows 11 before the hardware change is usually safer. Let me know if you need more details!

When switching platforms, it's best to back up your data and perform a fresh installation of Windows for optimal security.
