    Will changing product key entail a reinstallation of the OS and reset of everything?


    my Windows 10 Home was activated through that .cmd trick and was wondering if I ever have reason to activate it differently. Was wondering, if ever you use the "change product key" option in the activation settings with a legitimate product key, will it prompt a reinstallation and clear everything or will it simply change and register a legitimate activation without having to return to zero?
