Windows 10: License Key

My son just upgraded his computer (new MB, new CPU, new GPU). He had a legitimate Win7 license (not OEM) and got the free upgrade to Win10. However, now Windows is asking for a new license. I used Belarc Advisor to retrieve the license but it was wiped. I don't have the Win7 license anymore. Is there any way to reactivate Windows without having to purchase a new license?

License Transfer question


So I found this on the MS website.

Add Windows 8.1 Pro Pack or Windows 8.1 Media Center Pack to your edition of Windows 8.1

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.)
  
• Enter add features in the search box, and then tap or click Settings.
  
• Tap or click Add features to Windows 8.1 and then do one of the following:
  
  • If you need to purchase a product key, tap or click I want to buy a product key online.
    Follow the steps to purchase and enter a product key.
    
  • If you already have a product key, tap or click I already have a product key.
• Enter your product key and click Next.
  
• Read the license terms, select the check box to accept the license terms, and then click Add features.
  
  
  Would this be the way to do it? And would it matter that this would be the US version and not UK?
  
  Thanks
