Windows 10: Query Activation and changing Video Cards

I have a new PC that I have built nearly ready to go. Just need to install 32GB memory, an NVMe 1GB drive, 2 4TB spinning drives and a RTX 2080Ti card.

I plan to install 16GB of memory and the NVMe drive next week hopefully. As the video card is expensive and a while away yet I plan to stick in an nVidia graphics card (think it is a 6xx version) just so I can get the machine up and running.
Will install Win 10 but do I enter the key or not? Will changing the video card and adding another 16GB of ram force the system to want to re-validate the key? I did have issues with Windows 7 (motherboard change) and was a pain going through Microsoft to get it done.

It says the best driver is already installed. I really think it's an issue related to the sd card hardware or driver. The problem doesn't happen if the videos are on the hard drive.
