Just re-use the same HDD, windows 10 should automatically stay loaded when you reboot. Ive had problems where my old HP HDD wasnt compatable because it was so old, and the HDD wasnt compatable. Worst case, you have to wipe the drive from CMD and create a bootable USB with windows. Happened to me

Good luck!

You might have to use a repair disk to make sure windows 10 works. In my experience when changing motherboards it required a reinstall or fix.
