Before changing the hardware, read and do this: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3164428/windows-build-1607-activation.html

This takes care of the activation/licensing with new hardware.

It may or may not need a full reinstall. Win 10 is more forgiving than previous versions, but no guarantees.
Prepare for if you do need to reinstall.
