You can still upgrade to Windows 10 without purchasing a new license if you have an existing valid license.

The license is quite old, and the site warns that these items aren't meant for the general public. They might ask for proof of affiliation before you can order or join. I think there could be issues if I try to use a license from several years back while no longer attending school. If it wasn’t an issue, I’d have ordered an SSD and installed it right away.
I recall reading about the license and how it should be retained permanently, not limited to school hours. You understood this while you were in school—it belongs to you always.
It seems the same Pro license works for a fresh install after a hardware upgrade. I need to clarify whether Edu version offers the same compatibility as Pro, especially for broader systems beyond just GPU or CPU changes. The reference to hardware upgrades includes components like the motherboard, not limited to the GPU or CPU.
