OK, yes.
You need Win 10.
Even if it did theoretically support Win 7, you'd need to do a full reinstall anyway.
So you might as well go with Win 10.

In answer to your question, Yes.

1. Why do you need to replace the motherboard?

2. What board is it that does not support Win 7?

3. Of course you can do a clean install of Win 10 on a new board (new system). That's how new systems get built.

It isn't the board that won't support W7, it is the Coffee Lake CPUs. In fact, some folks have gotten W7 to run fine with Coffee Lake CPUs. That board even has drivers for win7 in its support downloads. But yes, W10 is the safest bet.

Btw, this is why it is important to list your system specs when you post a question like that ;-)
