Original manufacturer duplicates are authentic. I wouldn't believe they'd be original keys, even though no official comments have been made.

OEM keys are authentic but not Microsoft Genuine keys. They can be transferred between systems, meaning a single key isn't tied to one specific machine. These keys are linked to the motherboard, so changing hardware requires a new key. Edit: Also noted, an article mentioned that only Insiders could receive Windows 10 ISO copies on the 29th. Does this suggest free access for Insiders? They could theoretically use as many copies as needed, provided it's an Insider version.

You're part of the insider group, but official access isn't available. If you want, you'll have to purchase a 10-pro program key.

We receive official 'Insider keys'. It doesn't matter if I bypassed piracy or avoided the Insider Preview Build 10xx. The main concern is whether upgrading to the Intel platform with a new motherboard would affect my license.

Real authenticity isn't what it seems. Only those inside receive the exclusive content. The insider edition is available for new updates. Please note that Microsoft removed the ISOs and halted preview versions to concentrate on completing the RTM.

I understand, I still have it on my rig and everything is okay. What I mean is: If I used Windows 7 or 8.1 with an OEM license bought online, and I upgraded the motherboard, the Windows on my SSD would likely say it's not valid because the copy I purchased is linked to the old board. That means I'd need a new license or contact Microsoft to fix it. With Windows 10 Insider, would the same issue occur? Would that version be tied to my current board, or would it work after an upgrade?
