Your case will accept any mATX board. The HP windows license is tied to the HP board and technically is not transferable bit it is not unheard of that people could reactivate with MS asking nicely. At minimum it will need a repair install of windows.

So do I have to Install aNew windows, and buy a new hard drive as well?

HDD is fine for reuse it is that technicality with the windows license which basically means to be 100% correct you need a new windows license. Changing motherboard is always best done with a fresh install.
