Windows 10 has to be run as an UPGRADE on a qualifying OS first to record the activation for that PC with MS
Once the PC activation has been recorded with MS - you can just skip over the product key prompts during setup and clean install
PS (so far for me) all the edition activation keys have been the same
and not PC specific

If I change out components to upgrade my system later will I still be able to re-install OS again without problems? Thanks!
