Windows 10 Key after upgrading from Windows 8
I have been subscribed to the insider preview and had all the builds of Win 10 as they have been released when Win 10 went RTM I unsubscribed and installed Win 8 Pro and registered using my legit Win 8 Pro key afterwards I upgraded to Win 10 RTM from Microsoft updates and after activation I expected a new Win 10 key - in fact after activation the key is the generic key I was using for the preview builds but Windows is permanently activated, anybody else noticed this?
When I upgraded my other computer which was running licensed copy of Win 8 and had never been used for the insider program I got a new Windows 10 key after upgrading, however when I reinstalled Win 8 on the machine that had previously been used on the insider program and then upgraded to Win 10 I did not receive a new key - its the same key that I have been using whilst running Win 10 Preview!
So why do I get a new key on the machine that never was on the insider program and the machine that was stays with the generic key?
