Will you need a new Windows license: Legally, yes. Reality, not likely. Most people have not had any problems re-using an old/already used Windows Product code. With Windows 7, online activation may fail and you'll be required to phone Microsoft. With Windows 8, you should not have any problems. All of this assumes that this Windows license is not being used on any other computer system.

A fresh installation does mean you will lose all your programs that you've installed and they will need to be re-installed. Any data files should be backed up to a separate hard drive before performing the re-install of the OS.

When you installed the old hard drive, did you re-install your OS? If not, this is likely the problem. The old OS installation still has pointers, drivers, and registry settings pointing back to your old motherboard. A fresh OS installation would remove these and likely clear up any issues you're having.
