What happens if you have to change the motherboard of the machine and want to keep using Windows 10 is unclear. So if a Windows 10 re-installation is performed at a later date, as long as the key hardware components of the machine haven't changed since the original Windows 10 installation, the machine should self validate again with the existing stored code.

Once the "upgrade" has been validated, the disc can be formatted and a clean install of Windows 10 can be done and it will automatically be validated again with the existing stored code. If I understand it correctly, we think that the Windows 10 key that is used on the "upgraded" machine is probably a generic one, and some kind of code based on the actual hardware, (probably the motherboard? ), of the machine that is "upgraded" is stored on the MS activation server and that is what is used to actually validate the Windows 10 installation, and this code can only be generated during an actual "upgrade" of an existing Windows 7/8.x/10 installation. I haven't seen anyone quote a definitive MS document that fully explains all the details of the Windows 10 "upgrade" license or key info, but this thread seems to give the current "best guess" as to what happens and the impact on the existing Windows 7/8.x key used to "upgrade". or perhaps after you do an upgrade that w10 provides you with a new/different authentication key? Edited Augby ccl0 Unless maybe the authentication system somehow knew that the w7/8 key was used previously to do a w10 upgrade. Would it work? Or would there be a prerequisite that the w7/8 key attempting to be used in that scenario had to be associated with a prior w7/8 to w10 upgrade path? That is my main concern. Because what if someone were to try to make a new w10 iso with updates etc with wintoolkit, and use their old win7/8 key say 2+ years down the road. I'm guessing that since there is a limited time frame as to when a person can get the free w7/8 upgrade that afterward, the upgrade system can detect if the key has been used previously for the upgrade.

when update is downloaded there is a message saying have the key code available, especially if you want to download the ISO or have a flash drive involved. Upgraded Win8.1 to Win10 yesterday - key code not asked for - free upgrade from 7 to 8 uses previous key code to validate.
