I have been reading a few of the older threads but thought it might be better to open a new thread.
My desktop was running retail Windows 7 Pro and upgraded to Windows 10. It received a new key and the 7 key was no longer valid. Last night I did a clean Windows 10 install on a Laptop and used a retail Windows 8 pro key.
I noticed that both machines are activated with a digital license and have the same generic Windows 10 key.
So all retail upgraded pro machines will show the same generic VK7JG-..... key? How do you transfer to a new machine if you do not have a unique key?

I called the Microsoft support last time and they confirmed it
