Windows 10 upgrade license

Hello guys,

I have 1 license of WIndows 8.1 FPP/retail license. I want to upgrade to WIndows 10, but I one thing is unclear to me.
If I upgrade, will WIndows 10 license be retail or it will "turn" into some sort of OEM license?

I ask this because I upgrade my PC, you know, more memory, replace HDD, and I intend to upgrade the MB and CPU to Kaby Lake platform sometime in the future, (and of course sell the replaced hardware)
This thing is not clearly mentioned anywhere.

Thank you.

 

Retail license W10 upgrade permanent?

Well Microsoft cannot unilaterally void your owned retail license. That license, according to its terms upon purchase, is your personal property. After upgrading, it will retain all its original definition - which means transferable but can only be used on one PC at a time.

OEM keys are meant to be tied to a particular system's hardware, and so the life of the license is equal to "for the lifetime of the device". But in the case of a retail key, the license is good permanently for one machine. If the license has received upgraded status, then it has upgraded status. And if Microsoft provide an upgrade to that license for use with Windows 10, then that upgraded status is the new definition of the personal property which is a retail license, and it is no longer for Microsoft to say whether or not that license may be transferred, because Microsoft does not hold domain over a person's retail license.

A license purchase is not a rent, or a lease. An owned software license is a personal property - not over the software itself, but over the right to access and use a particular software. Transferable, single-PC use is already the identity and definition of a retail license, and Microsoft cannot take that from a retail license owner, because that license is not Microsoft's to make such unilateral changes over.

If Microsoft wishes to provide an upgrade to that license, that is Microsoft's call to make. However, it is not in Microsoft's power to amend the terms of the retail license from what they were at the time of their purchase, because, again, that licenses originally-agreed-to rights is the legal property of the purchaser, and not the company who sold those particular rights in a license-agreement.

An upgrade to that license still preserve's the license-agreement as a right of the purchaser.

That's the legal reality.

 

Windows 10 upgrade license

The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?
