If you have upgraded from Windows 7/8.1, then you can just format without inserting any product key next time, Microsoft remember your hardware ID now instead of using key.

I mean, if next i want to do clean format Win 10 without upgrade from Win 8... Is it the key for current Win 10 can use?

As explained earlier, if you have upgraded from previous Windows (7/8.1), then you can format anytime without using any key on the same upgraded PC.

When prompted to insert product key, just press "Skip" and it will automatically activated itself after boot into Windows if you are connected to the Internet.

Let say my HDD spoil and i would start from scratch.
It would take time if i need to format Window 8 first then upgrade to Windows 10.
So my question, just format direct to Windows 10 using key i get from AIDA64 "WITHOUT" install and upgrade from Windows 8..
