No. When the manufacturer installed Windows it would have been with an OEM Product Key which would have been encrypted and embedded in BIOS, thus linking that Key to that Mobo and installation disk, making it difficult to change Mobo. Unless you can see the key on a sticker anywhere you'll need to buy another. It might have been possible to retrieve the Key from the original setup with a keyfinder, but without the original Board, impossible...
