Depends.  Generally replacing a motherboard may cause a recent 
registration to fail. I haven't had much issue though...  You can create 
Windows 10 or 11 USB installer from Microsoft, install fresh and use a 
CD Key from Windows 7 or newer.  If you aren't using Pro, and have a 
desire to use virtualization, You may want to look at the under $20 keys 
from a gray market reseller... I've used a couple, and didn't have issues.

I would try your old key first though...
