[joemayne101]

Hello there i just need a quick question answered for me.

I am building a new computer, i currently have windows 10 installed and activated on my current computer.

If i take out this ssd with windows on it and put it into my new pc (so new cpu new motherboard new gpu etc)

will i have to reactivate windows or will it stay activated for me?

Not only will it not stay activated, you will almost certainly have to do a full wipe and reinstall.
Windows is not modular, and moving between systems usually does not work.

For the OS license/activation...where did this OS and its license come from?

And that OEM license is tied to that HP.
Not transferable to your new hardware.

Your new PC needs a new install AND its own valid Windows license.
