You can transfer your Windows 10 SSD from your current PC to the new one, and everything should function normally.

It should start up and work, though you might need to install or update certain drivers manually. I've switched between AMD and Intel setups for testing, facing minor issues like missing USB or network drivers. The main point is it will probably recognize the change and you'll lose activation. Depending on your version, you might be able to move it—retail transfers seem possible, but OEM isn't clear. I'm not confident enough to give more advice.

Because Windows recognizes you copied it, especially with a different motherboard. It didn’t function perfectly even after I cloned my HDD to an SSD on my laptop and swapped the drives, as some programs insisted on using new keys.

Some users face problems during motherboard swaps because the operating system attempts to associate itself with the particular board. However, linking your Windows login to a Microsoft account typically resolves this issue easily https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...are-change

It’s rarely wise to proceed. Windows may complain about reactivation, and drivers can become troublesome. That’s why you use external storage devices and keep the boot drive reserved for simpler setups.
