If you change the motherboard you will have to reactivate it. that's about it.

With a 'major upgrade', you may well have to reinstall it.

It lives on the hard drive.

Then you will almost certainly need a full OS reinstall.
It will certainly need a reactivation.
It may need a whole new OS license (depending on what it is currently). You're building a whole new PC.
