    Sealed box version USB drive + activation code of Win 10 Pro sold online - legit?


    A sealed box of Win 10 Pro is offered for sale on an online marketplace by a person with good reputation. There is little doubt that the box contains a legitimate copy of Win 10 Pro, and that the box is factory sealed.If I purchase that copy, do I obtain the license to use that copy of Win 10 Pro? Or not being the original purchaser from Microsoft not having the original receipt of purchase of Win 10 Pro directly from Microsoft confers no license on the end user? In other words, would a receipt of purchase from the online marketplace suffice to be the legit user of the Win 10 Pro?

    :)

    Recovery Drive Doubt

    I created a recovery drive usb pendrive when i bought my laptop. That time it was Win 10 Home SL. Now i upgraded it to Win 10 Pro and activated it using "illegal software". So these are the doubts which i have :

    1. Can the Recovery Drive reverts Pro to Home? (Recovery Drive was created during Win 10 Home SL. So if i boot Recovery Drive it should revert back to Home. These are my thoughts)
    2. Will the digital license work after downgrading ?
    3. Will there be any backlash ?
    P.S. After upgrading it to Pro, there was a warning saying "digital license valid for Home SL, and not for Pro". I used an "illegal software" to activate it. Also i am a newbie so please explain it step by step.
