Windows 10: Windows 10 product key

My Windows 10 was installed on an SSD and long story short my SSD fail so i replaced it with a new one, i removed the old SSD with everything in it without delleting or uninstalling it because i think the SSD couldn't handle the processes anymore and i asked the official service center of my Laptop to reinstall my Windows 10 along with my new SSD, but when it finished it came out with a different product ID which is no longer the original OEM ID, now i think its a retail ID and i managed to get the product key using third party software named produkey and it shows 2 product key the first one named Windows BIOS OEM key and the second one is named Windows 10 Home Single Language, the one being used is the Windows 10 Home Single Language key, the only Hardware change is the new SSD and i removed one of the two memory module before i submit my Laptop to the service center.


My question is :

1. can i change/reuse my OEM key again? i if could how should i do it ?
2. if i managed to use my old OEM key then what would happen to the currently installed key ? could i use it to other PC ?
3. from the Settings > Updates & security > Activation said my Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your microsoft account, so if i used the OEM key again could i link it to my microsoft account ? could my microsoft account linked to more than one digital license ?

windows 10 key

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
