I’m swapping out all components except the GPU and peripherals like the monitor, keyboard, headphones, etc. Will I need to install Windows again? Or can I stick with my current setup? The computer I bought secondhand came with a fresh Windows installation and product key—though there are alternative ways to get it if you prefer. Thanks for reading!

You're welcome to reuse the key. I've completed this task multiple times as requested.

Yes, you should get a new key once you've installed it on five distinct motherboards.
