Does new mobo mean new hard drive/windows 10 copy?

So pretty much my pc died, because of my mobo, and i'm getting a new one. It's a different brand from the old one. I don't have any way to delete or modify the hard drive because I don't have a working pc. Is there going to be any conflicts when I install the new mobo bios? If so, what should I do?

You should be good. Windows should boot and reconfigure itself to match the new hardware. All you need to do then is install the drivers for the new board (sometimes this is not necessary).
It is, however, always a good idea to do a clean install when installing a new mobo though.

Petrossa :

One more question, will I have to get another windows code to activate it? Or will I be able to use it normally?

You will have to reactivate Windows, and because you have changed the mobo, it might not activate online.
If that happens, see what options you get.
