In the same system, you can reinstall no problem. "System" = motherboard.

On the new SSD? Go for it. No problem.

yes it can as long as it is using the same motherboard if the key is OEM. If the key is a retail key then it can be switched to a different motherboard later on if desired.

You paid Microsoft for the right to use their software on "A" pc. Use it as many times as you want to. On a single PC . It's only an issue if you try and use it on multiple pc's.
