Been researching upgrading my motherboard (need to upgrade CPU too, which isn’t supported on current board).

I have Windows installed on a SATA SSD, then another M.2 SSD as well as a SATA HDD.

If I do a straight swap and plug my drives back in, am I going to encounter any activation issues relating to Windows, and/or issues with access to all my data?

The short answer is, you should be fine. You can do things like sync your key to you Microsoft account.
