Your license is tied to your Microsoft account if I recall correctly, so you reinstall from an ISO and use the same Microsoft account, then it should activate

ok what if it was activated without a microsoft account? If it was on a local computer account now off the network. If for some reason 3 years down the line and i have to re-install/re-image this machine will it still pull that license key. These are the situations we are nervous about.
As an IT admin im hella nervous about all this business.

Ok that is at least somewhat comforting lol. This article really made me worry about upgrading for a moment. I really want DX12 but I am waiting to upgrade for a bit.
