Windows 10: A question about digital licenses

Hey,

If I activate Windows 10 Pro on a laptop with a digital license linked to account, why am I able to retain Windows 10 Pro if I reset the laptop and use the generic windows key for pro? Is Windows Pro baked in to the motherboard?

Thanks

Digital license bind question

Because you refer to a digitally licensed laptop in your first sentence which apparently isn't involved in the swap between two other PC's discussed in the next sentence?

I've amended my suggestions above.
