Hey everyone, the situation sounds tricky. Since your dad's computer is running low on power and you're dealing with a used build, it might be better to stick with the existing setup. Windows often forces a reinstall when major changes are made, especially if you're using an older or non-OEM system. If you replace the motherboard and CPU, it could work fine unless there are compatibility issues. Just double-check the BIOS settings after installation to ensure everything boots correctly.
Sure, a reinstall is necessary. Try starting without it first, but I question if Windows will boot at all.
