Old drive with OS, and new motherboard. Will it work seamlessly?
The only answer to that is 'maybe'. And even if it does, you may have licensing issues.
What parts do you have, and what parts are you considering changing to?

Personally, I'd recommend a clean install with the new hardware. You might still have the same licensing issues, depending on what OS license you have, but it will actually work.
You could try it though. Just don't be disappointed if it does not boot.
