Solution
Swapping a motherboard, and reusing the original OS
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. No matter what you do to it beforehand.

Be prepared for if it doesn't work, hope that it does.

You don't need to uninstall any drivers to swap the mobo.

I looked up some videos and it says the new mobo drivers will conflict with the old one and crash my pc so i should delete the old ones.

It is much more simple to just re-install windows than to try doing that. And I have actually swapped a mobo without doing anything to the os and had no problems.
