Windows 10: Windows 10 Home license on new laptop

I have an existing Windows 10 Home license I double checked, and it has a product key which came with my desktop.

Early this week I bought a laptop, and have managed to link / use this same license for the laptop. I factory reset the desktop and also removed the desktop from the list of devices linked to my Microsoft account. So as far as I'm aware the license is only active on the laptop now.

This might be a dumb question, but what I'd like to know is how I managed to set up Windows 10 on the laptop without first removing it from the desktop as from what I understand the license is only for one device at a time.

In addition, I may be getting a new desktop in the near future, which will then mean I also need Windows 10 on it.

I'd appreciate any help / light shed on this issue.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 upgrade license

The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?
