Any thoughts on mobo drivers etc?

It's not recommended to move an installation to a new build, too much of the installation it determined by the hardware.

Probably not legally. Call Microsoft to find out but it probably will not activate.

What'll tend to happen is that it will ask for re-activiation, and give you a number to call, where they may or may not reactivate it. The reason being is that you may have an OEM license which is substantially discounted for installation on one machine.

I'd budget to include a new copy of windows from a legitimate source and if you are lucky you don't need to buy it.

Exactly what 13thMonkey said. That is good advice.

Using a disk imaging solution to clone the drive (as long as it's equal or greater size) should be fine. I recommend Drive Cloner (it's in the name) but any disk imager should work. Just check the feature set.
