upgrading all the fun parts except the SSD with Windows 10. Will Win10 see the new mobo and cpu and install drivers? Reinstalling is a pain. thanks for the help.

 
Solution
Windows 10 will de-activate when you boot up and you will not be able to reactive it unless you reinstall.

I had to do the same thing a couple months ago and this is the only way.

With a new motherboard, a clean install is always recommended, often required.
