I have an old Windows 7 OEM PC that I've had for a while and would like to replace most of the parts, like the proccesser and motherboard. I've read elsewhere that I can call Microsoft and get the key transferred to the new motherboard, but I'm not sure if this would work. Can someone please clarify?
If this works, I plan upgrade to Windows 10, then do a clean install of the 64-bit edition, as the current Windows 7 is a 32-bit. I'm not sure if this would work with the product key shenanigans that would be happening.

Old System Specs:
OS: Windows 7 32-bit OEM
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250
GPU: Nvidia 6150se nForce 430
RAM: 2GB DDR3
PSU: Whatever came with the case.
Case: Foxconn KS-188
Motherboard: Foxconn M61PMP-K
New System Specs:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit (hopefully)
CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: EVGA GTX 560 Ti (acquired from my brother (also, is this worth $60 at the current time?))
RAM: 8GB DDR3
PSU: EVGA 500B
Case: Foxconn KS-188
Motherboard: ASRock 970M Pro3

Would it work?
Thanks in advance.
