No, windows uses a hardware ID, so the componets would be different and it wouldnt be activated

You'd need to reinstall it anyway

It might work - but won't be ideal, you'll have leftover drivers and software from your old PC, they could conflict with the drivers for the hardware in your new PC and cause strange issues.

Would recommend a fresh install of Windows just for the sake of stability
