If upgrade to Windows 10 now, can I use the same product key to install Windows 10 on a new-built a few months from now? If you upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 on that PC, the Windows 10 will be tied to the motherboard you are installing the Windows 10 with. From what i gather, Microsoft collects hardware metadata (from motherboard i guess) when you are installing the upgrade. Hence, you do not need to insert any product key if you reinstall Windows 10 from scratch in the future. Therefore, you can't install this Windows 10 on a brand new motherboard model after the upgrade on current PC since the upgrade is 'tied' to the motherboard. But you may install and try your luck activating current Windows 7 on your new PC with new motherboard. If successful then you may upgrade to Windows 10 from there.
