Windows 10: New MB/CPU. Do I need to reinstall OS?

MB died. Getting a used replacement to swap in. Seamless?

Would Win7 need to be reinstalled?

Would Win10 need to be reinstalled?

SSD OS migration to new CPU/MB

Hello all. well in preparation on moving my SSD with win 10 i installed my new CPU and MB into an old Case and booted up which is all i could do for tonight, i did get it to boot into the BIOS, so it looks like i wired everything right.
I will install the SSD/OS that i am currently on tomorrow, i am 1\2 way there

Thanks for everyone suggestions

SSD OS migration to new CPU/MB

Hello and thank you for your reply yes i do have a valid win 10 install on it. and i do have a retail win10 licence (upgraded from windows 7). i have not had any issues or problems with my current system build, but i am aware that the migration to a new and different CPU and MB may cause issues with my current OS,

so if i understand you correctly my current OS (win 10 ) will make the adjustments for the new MB and CPU ? what about the Current existing drivers. would they not conflict with the new drivers for the new and different drivers to my current MB CPU and GPU ?

i was thinking of doing a clean win10 install and doing a file restore or and image restore

Thanks in advance
