Did you change just the motherboard or also the processor?

If you change both things Windows if the version is OEM detects that it is basically another computer and that is why it is deactivated, since the licence was linked to the original computer not to any computer where you put the hard disk where Windows is installed.

Anyway you could re-activate your licence via telephone with Microsoft so don't worry.

If I buy an Office 2019 license it tells me that I can only activate it on 1 PC, if I change PCs in the future can I transfer my license to the new one? :: Why when I start Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 in VirtualBox it keeps loading and does not start?
