    Windows 10 Upgrade and re-install after MOBO change

    I currently have a PC with Windows 10 installed on it. The main components of the PC are working OK, but there is an issue with the sound card element of the motherboard, which means the sound is not working anymore. I am now looking at replacing the MOBO
    to fix this problem, but believe that if I do this, then the W10 version will no longer be activated.

    Is this correct? If so, how do I replace the MOBO without having to buy a new licence for W10?

    I have 6 PC's all running W10, but the one affected is my gaming rig, so having no sound is an issue and the MOBO needs to be changed, prior to anything else going wrong with it.

    Do I have to purchase W10 or can I swap the board, install the drive with the OS on and hope that it works?

    Any advice is appreciated, prior to me doing anything
