How do I prepare harddrive for a new motherboard + CPU?

So I've been trying to figure out how to do this, and I've seen mention of running a windows program called sysprep but that's all I've found so far. Will this work? Sorry for sounding like a total noob, all the hdds I've installed to this day have been brand new, never had to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated!
