Hi there, Quick question. If you buy a Windows 8.1 key from /r/microsoftsoftwareswap and install it on a new machine, would you receive a fresh Windows 10 license when upgrading to Windows 10?
Best regards, MrChavelo

This means you won't need to constantly verify whether the key is valid.

I did it myself. You won't receive a new key automatically. If you're setting up your PC with new hardware (motherboard and CPU), you'll need to reinstall Windows 8.1, activate it using the Reddit key, and then upgrade to Windows 10 once more. Since I've upgraded to Skylake, I'm confident your Windows 10 won't reactivate automatically.
