The answer from superninja12 is partially correct. The OEM license of Windows is attached to the motherboard, but this does not require you to reinstall it.

You can change your motherboard and your PC will work, but Windows will no longer be activated and you have to activate it again.

If you have an OEM license, then you have to buy a new key for the new motherboard.
If you have a retail license key, then you just have to activate windows by entering your product key once again.
