    Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a "dumb question".

    I have Win 7 Pro installed, if I "upgrade" to Windows 10 Pro, will the daz loader still be activated?

    To be more precise: you will switch automatic to Digital License when you upgrade Windows 7 to 10 and that license is bound to your pc.
    :)

    And :welcome:

    Activation confirmed, I checked the activation status once the install finished, it says "Windows is activated with a digital license" :), thank you!

    I was just wondering, if for any reason I had to re-install Windows 10, if it was a fresh install would it automatically activate, or would I need to go through installing Windows 7 first, run the Daz loader, then upgrade to Windows 10?

    HWID's are saved at MSFT servers, linked to the hardware it's established on, so you can re-install as much as you want and it will activate by HWID on that hardware.
