If the new and old are the same, there is no issue.
If the new is slightly different, and you can boot, you only need to install the new motherboard drivers that came with the cd for your new motherboard.
If the motherboard is entirely different, your old windows may not have had the drivers to allow it to boot.
In that case, you need a new install.
And.. if your windows was oem, you may have a reactivation issue if the motherboard was different.
