Actually it has not been discussed before with proof.
Once again, of all the millions of users around the world, no one anywhere on any web site has posted about this, and it's beyond unbelievable that there exists no FAQ that addresses a non OEM *RETAIL* license conversion.
It seems obvious but we have no proof, that a cloud record keeps the details that are not visible on the machine itself.
Meaning, Microsoft cloud has recognized that a retail license has been upgraded from Windows 7/8 to Windows 10 - with all the benefits that implies. Including ability to install on multiple machines (not at the same time) without calling Microsoft.
One of us will find out the hard way sooner or later.
But I can think of no more important question about the Free Windows 10 Upgrade project. It has never been answered by anyone at Microsoft that we know of. They should have addressed this themselves. It should have been paragraph 1 question 1.
