yes and no. the windows key for example is stored in your uefi on the motherboard. you have to reactivate windows at least. but just write your key down and call the microsoft robot, youll get it reactivated without any problems. (unless you already have a retail w10 key and didnt upgrade from w7/8.1 then you can skip this step obviously) for drivers its fine, id personally would do a clean install tho.
