Habe jetzt Intel-CPU. MB ohne TPM 2.0. Wollte auf AMD umsteigen. Muß ich jetzt ein neues Win 10 kaufen oder akzeptiert Microsoft die alte Version.Von dem alten PC übernehme ich nur das Netzteil,GK und Festplatte.

It depends. If the system came with Microsoft pre-installed it's most likely a COA or system builder license which means it is non-transferable. If it is a retail license then yes you could transfer the license.

You can run the command slmgr /dlv to see if it's COA or Retail
