free support for lifetime sounds too good to be true...:s13:
Lifetime of your machine, not yours. :s13:

Anyway extended support for Win7 is up to 2020 so I may be keeping it. By then I (and probably everyone) will be upgrding the hardware already. There's actually nothing much to complain about Win7. Plus nowadays a lot of time is spent on mobile phones and tablets not like last time where PC was a daily needs.

In case anyone is unaware of this useful feature, snapping of windows (split screen) integration has been much improved in W10 with Snap Assist. :)

What is the understanding of "lifetime of machine"?

Is it assumed to be 2 or 3 years upon purchase of a computer? For diy pc which has its parts changed over years, the lifetime is calculated from its main board age

Anything. Just not THAT lifetime. What I was trying to say is, we don't need to concern/worry too much for missing some 'lifetime' opportunity.

I had just upgraded from Win 8 Pro to Win 10 Pro.

So a new license key will be issued to you after the upgrade ?

That's mean if I wanted to do a clean install, I will need to use the new license key ?

During the upgrade, your hardware specs have been sent to Microsoft. You can do a reinstall without keying in a product key. Just hit "skip" when you get to that screen.

What if you swap out a hardware, say a motherboard?
