Seen a lot of questions about reactivating Windows 10, many from before linking to MS account was possible, but few have had a clear answer on whether this process works:
Had an old prebuilt PC with OEM Widnows 8.1. Took the free upgrade to Windows 10. Linked that digital license to MS account. Make a major change to hardware (upgrading motherboard to new socket type, new CPU, new RAM type and amount). Use Windows activation assistant to active the digital license linked to MS account on the upgraded PC that still has the same HDD, SSD, GPU. PSU.
I know prior to Build 1607 the answer was no. But post-1607, seems to still be up in the air.
