    Upgrading a PC and Retail Keys

    If I build a new PC and activate Windows 10 on it with my old Windows 8 key which was used on the old PC, will the old PC remain activated?

    Very hard to reactivate windows 10 Retail key to new pc

    Yes, I am aware of this in the first place. From the beginning, this retail key is activated in my old system which i recently sold it to my friend without hard disk. The key is activated and link it to my microsoft account when i used this PC. So, afterword,
    assembled my new system by myself, installed new/ fresh windows and used my retail key, but not able to activated. On the otherhand, my friend put new hard disk to my old system he bought and install windows 10 newly and as soon as he connect to internet,
    the windows is activated automatically at the same time. Tried few trick on the old system like unlink the account, uninstall the key by command etc. No one a single trick worked. So, posted on this community hoping there might be answer.
