Not always. But it's probably a good idea to do a fresh install.
In some cases the Windows install will reference data from the BIOS chip (a certificate or similar) to validate the Windows install. This is usually on OEM installs however. If u have one of these installs, then the Windows OS will not validate on another machine. (U would have to buy another validation key).
If u bought your Windows OS yourself, this will not be an issue however. Just reinstall on your new computer and use the same key.
