Well, your first mistake here is moving from AMD to AMD. Get an i5 unless you do productivity or streaming. (Don't hurt me, I run AMD too)

no but you will need to install all the new motherboard drivers and remove the old ones

also you will probably have to reactivate windows, but thats easy if you have the key you used when first installing it\

 

but you could just reinstall everything and you would clean up a lot of crap that builds up over time on the OS
