You should not need to reinstall, but you will need to re-license the install. If you have motherboard driver problems, you can use sysprep to make Windows happy with the new board.
If you added an MS account to your computer and you have version 1607 or later, you can transfer the license: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Otherwise, you might want to contact MS support.

You already have the operating system installed to your hard drive, so you should not need to reinstall.
If you do need installation media, use this: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
