Im still using an XP key I got with an old p4 HP pavilion years ago and not 1 piece of hardware is the same. The way I look at it is I own the OS and can do with it what I want!
To answer the question, it may work to change hardware and not reinstall, but you will probably have some issues so its a good idea to reinstall esp when changing MB
