You'll keep the same key during the upgrade, but it won't remain valid once the PC is sold or disassembled. The new key will be required for the rebuilt system.

I'm using Windows 8.1 but the key isn't working. It seems Windows 10 uses a different version, so you might need an app to locate it.

Upgrading retains your current Windows key and activation details, though you cannot insert a key from an older, uninstalled version into a fresh, unactivated setup.

Absolutely, you'll need a specialized tool to extract that Windows 10 key, likely hidden deep within the registry or other complex areas.
