I replaced the mobo and the cpu. Everything else is the same. I was amazed to find that with the existing SSD image unchanged, the system booted and worked perfectly with the new mobo and cpu. Granted I used the same brand of mobo and cpu (Gigabyte and Intel). So, it is the same version of W10 with all the same apps etc. W10 was intelligent enough to update a few drivers for the new mobo I think and then just booted fine. No more issues. I did get W10 registered over the phone, took awhile, but it went fine.
