as the thread title reads i have upgraded my pc (the one im posting from) and upgraded my parents pc and they both have the same keys.

i used the forced upgrade method explained on this site

using the media creation tool and belarc advisor

both computers have the same serials and i dunno what to do at this point

How the hell did you steal my Win 7 license key to upgrade!!!???
That's MY win 10 key!

No seriously...they are all like that. The specific license key for Upgraded Win 10 is far less meaningful than it used to be. It is actually, I believe, a combination of that and your specific hardware/motherboard information that is the actual license key.
Said key lives...

Said key lives at Microsoft Central.

All the upgrades have the same 'key'. You have no problems...

their systems can recognize copied serials and ban others.

If you need to reinstall, it is info from your specific system, along with that generic Win 10 upgrade key.
Retail Win 10 licenses have different individual keys.
