    after a deep search I make I found that theupgraded win 10 is activated from hardware id. the product key its win 10 default product key and don't used for activation. its the first time I see a think like that. its is ok?? no its not ok I you ever need to change your mobo and maybe your hdd you loose the activation. if your current hardware dies your activation dies with it.

    If you live inside the EU, then you have the right to change parts of your hardware, Microsofts EULA is vs EU law.

    Wouldn't be that sure here. The Free Upgrade Offer isn't covered by this :g:.

    That needs to buy a Retail Key.

    HDD/SSD and GPU have minor or no impact.

    Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 and install Lan driver and load windows loader 2.2.2 to activated. Then click setup.exe from Windows 10 Pro Build 10240 x64 to upgraded and windows 10 is activated with internet stay on. Secure Erase SSD and start fresh clean install Windows 10 Pro with twice skip enter product key and didn't set up microsoft account. And Windows is activated no problem. (but you need internet on)

    So? Secure Erase is fine with SSD. It's make SSD default to factory performance and secure wipe out SSD.

    To my knowledge 'Secure Erase' means to overwrite data with random b*llsh*t several times.

    Does any bell ring here ... :g:?

    Filling a SSD several times with data will only wear it off!!!

    On every SSD a format is sufficient.
    Read about how flash storage works here.

    Even on normal HDDs it's sufficient. Check out how hard it is to find anything afterwards, even if you exactly know where to search.

    you will be fine as long you keep the same motherboard who knows maybe in the future everyone who have win10 from upgrade will get a unique product key from ms

    How does one activate the Enterprise edition?
    Fresh install (blank HDD).
