Uninstall history log

I currently am running a Dinasaur system: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R. I have come into possession of a Gigabyte B356M DS3H WIFI with an Intel I Core 5 I5 9400 and 16 GB of RAM sitting on the board.
I'm not sure the condition of the parts, but I was thinking of trying to swap out my old motherboard with this new to me motherboard to be able to upgrade to Windows 11.
Any suggestion or pitfalls I should look out for? If I remember correctly when Windows 10 sets things up it looks at the motherboard configuration and installs what's needed. If that's correct, will I be able to hook up this new motherboard, processor, memory, and then upgrade to windows 11?

    You cannot "uninstall" this log. It is a core system file. The only option is to clear the entire log, which will erase all historical events for every application, not just one.

    To do this, right-click on Admin in the left pane and select Clear Log....

    Use this with caution, as it removes valuable diagnostic data.
