Hello, your system has been running well since the update, but three of your four RAM slots are faulty, causing a boot loop. You suspect the issue is with the motherboard, which you confirmed by testing RAM elsewhere. You’ve ordered an i7-6700K and a new motherboard with RAM, and now you’re wondering if you can use the Reddit key to reinstall Win 8.1 and upgrade to Windows 10 again.

Ensure the product isn't an original equipment manufacturer key.

Returned to version 8.1 and upgraded to Windows 10. Swapped the motherboard and the Windows 7/8 activation keys aren’t valid for Windows 10.

If you reorganize your SSD without Windows, you can simply reinstall the key again.

I believe that's correct—using an older key won't work on a Windows 10 installation.
