You will probably have to do a full wipe and reinstall of the OS.
What are the old parts and the new parts?


You might not have to purchase a new OS license.
Where did your current Win 10 license come from?

Old:Amd fx 2300, Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970 Motherboard, 1600mhz DDR3 ram
New; Amd Ryzen 7 2700x, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming, corsair vengeance 2400mhz ram 2x8 DDR4

For the OS activation, read and do this before you change any parts:
