I did a Win 8 Upgrade over a Win 7, and chose the option to keep programs and data. I thought this would keep Office 2010 running without problems. But when starting Office 2010, a warning came that a system change had been detected and reactivation was required.
Luckily I could find the code but in my case, a message came that my Office 2010 had been activated too many times (I have 2 laptops and a PC and I also did some hardware changes on those).
Automatic phone activation also did not work, so I told a MS assistant that I upgraded to Win 8 and she gave me a code for activation.
So in the end no problems on my side. I just posted this so that others can use what happened in my case.
