Windows 10: Keep initial Home Win10 license after retail license transfer?

I would like to upgrade a spare dreamspark Win 8 Pro key to Win 10 before the deadline. I also have a laptop that has Win 10 Home (upgraded from OEM Win 8 by digital entitlement).

With the dreamspark key, I assume that this laptop can be upgraded to Win 10 Pro. However, I would like to transfer the Win 10 Pro key to a new computer in future (after the upgrade deadline). Would the laptop be able to retain its initial Win 10 Home license?

:)

 

After upgrade, will license still be retail or not ?

Original title: If users upgrade from win 8.1 retail to win10 free upgrade, will the license still be retail or not ?

If users upgrade from win7/8.1 retail to win10 free upgrade, will the license still be retail or not ? can it be transferrable still and how wi if users upgrade from win7/8.1 retail to win10 free upgrade, will the license still be retail or not ? can it
be transferrable still and how will that work? i only want to know this, and a lot of other people would like to knowll that work?

 

Is retail version of Windows 7 pro (not OEM or GGK) when upgraded to Windows 10 is transferable to other PC?

Good question...

Will the retail licenses (Win8.x, Win7) be converted to OEM after upgrading to Win10 ? There are many theories on the Web so please explain this problem... once and for all. I think it's unfair to change retail license (from "Box" Windows version) to OEM which
can be used only with motherboard it was bounded to!

And what will happen if I change my PC after upgrading to Win10? Will i lose my license because the old motherboard is gone (the one that was used when Win10 update was installed) and i'll have to buy another license for the new pc?

 

Not 100% certain but it looks like you will be able to do it with the new activation troubleshooter in next version of windows on Aug 2nd.

Your home licence is unaffected. You could install 10 pro as dual boot temporarily if you like.

 

My laptop has digital entitlements for 10 Home and Pro. I originally did the free upgrade from 8.1 Pro, that got me a Pro entitlement. Latter on I did a clean install and that laptops 8.0 Core OEM key was auto detected, that got me 10 Home and another digital entitlement. I then just did a change key and entered the generic Pro key. It upgraded to Pro and activated with the pro digital entitlement. I can now install either version on that laptop and activate with no issues. One doesn't negate the other.
