I want change just motherboard-CPU,GPU,Discks are the same and i want move to new motherboard.
Firstly I would recomnend you backup the entire system using Rescuezilla to an external drive.
Then once you have put together your new machine, boot it up and see what happens.
One thing you need to be sure of is that your existing RAM matches the new motherboard. My youngest's ASUS motherboard died recently which may have been caused by one drop of sweat that unfortunately landed close to the EC chip:
It has DDR4 RAM so have had to get a budget MSI board that takes DDR4.

I've moved several drives with Zorin installed from one computer to another with no trouble. This is because almost all hardware support is baked into the Kernel (linux), and doesn't require any special Drivers. I've went from DDR3 based machines to DDR4 machines with no trouble.
Some hardware might need tweaking, if there's a difference, but mostly the OS should work just fine. NVIDIA would be the most likely to give some trouble, but no more so than if you upgraded your video card on the same system.
Also, I've always moved from an Intel to Intel CPU. Haven't tried Intel to AMD or vice versa, so I can't speak to that.

I have the question: is will a prpblems when I change my RTX 3070 on latest radeon?
AMD drivers (Radeon) are embedded in the kernel.
If you have an RTX-3070 you have an nVidia card that does not use Radeon!
?? Why?
Radeon vid cards use an AMD driver that is built into the kernel...NVIDIA uses drivers that are 3rd party and not built into the kernel. nvidia card drivers are found in the "additional drivers" area and are installed from there
