I would highly recommend getting an SSD. Also it will work but I also recommend reinstalling Windows as the drivers and such can be conflicting and Windows gets wonky when changing motherboards without reinstalling.

I said it didn't work for me because it wouldn't boot but that could of been a fault when i built my PC not too sure. I would try just swapping the HDD over first though.

You need a USB. Get one. They are insanely cheap espeically 8-16GB sticks.

If you don't have 2 PC's you would need to buy a Windows installation USB from Microsoft, which can be expensive. You need to write the Windows 10 ISO to the flash drive using something like Windows Media Creation Toolkit [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Once you have created the USB just plug it in and select it in the boot options or let it boot to it automatically. From there you can install Windows.
