Nonsense. According to a later post of yours, the computer in

Not when it previously had been upgraded to Windows 10 via Microsoft's
free upgrade offer, numbnuts.

Perhaps you've already forgotten that period of time when Microsoft
was so aggressive about rolling out the new OS that people were even
inadvertantly being upgraded whether they wanted to or not. At the time
we were told that Windows 10 used a digital license locked to the hardware
and stored by Microsoft which would be honored in the event of a reload.

Right back at you.
