It's suggested to reinstall Windows if you're getting a new motherboard. If you're starting fresh with a new PC, you can install Windows 10 directly without issues. Since you're upgrading from Windows 8 or 10, timing doesn't affect compatibility as long as the hardware supports it.
You’ll likely need Windows 10 already set up before switching to the new motherboard. It’s unclear if updating the board will affect Windows activation. I recommend installing Windows 10 via the media creation utility on your new PC using a USB drive.
I moved my files from Windows to a fresh computer without any problems. Feel free to test it and restore everything if needed—just reinstall later if anything goes wrong.
Upgrading to Windows 10 requires modifying the motherboard first. Before installing Windows 10, reinstall Windows 8 and activate it through a phone call to Microsoft if necessary. Only after that should you proceed with the upgrade to Windows 10. This ensures your new board is linked to the latest version, not the previous one. Microsoft will not offer a "freely upgraded" Windows 10 on a new hardware setup.
