When the computer starts up hit the button that takes you into bios.

Hang on, you have an installed OS, and you want that OS to work with a completely different pc?

There is a big chance the OS is useless then. Windows is configured for the pc where it's in now, and not for the new one.

In rare occasions windows manages to adjust itself and work, but in most cases the OS won't work and you need to reinstall windows.

it should just pick it up automatically, but you will need to clean out the old drivers, and install the ones for the new system

Usually it wont work because windows wont have the right drivers and it will fail to boot, you're better off just re installing windows once you build it.
