K7 is awful value.

Get Strix X370-F or Gigabyte Gaming 5

You will need to install new drivers, because each manafacturer has different features on the mobo (NIC, Audio)

 

Don't buy Apple M1 computers with 8GB of RAM

in most cases, windows 10 will auto install new driver's to get it up and running. you'll just have to install latest driver's. But to answer your question, yes it should boot and load into windows no problem.

No, you have to do everything yourself.

I changed mobo three times in my Ryzen system.
