Not at all, Windows 10 and beyond identify you hardware composition, so as long as you don’t swap the mainboard, the license is automatically applied again upon intetnet connection (assuming you install the same windows version and do not enter another license key during installation). If you want to transfer your data though, get a cheap external USB HDD enclosure and use clonezilla to clone the drive.
