I own a MSI GS70 laptop with windows 10 (originally windows 8.1) and I typically wipe my laptop every 6 months just to decrapify it. So i put windows 10 on a bootable usb and did my normal process of installing the OS again. However, it didn't wipe my laptop at all. So if I were to dban my laptop and use the bootable usb I have withs windows 10 on it will I be able to use my current license to activate windows 10 still.
 
Solution
with windows 10 you now have a digitail licence given from microsoft. as long as the mb and hardware do not change it will reregister itself after you log onto the net.
