Does anyone know what the deal is regarding re-installation? I build my own PC's so my hardware changes fairly regularly and, for that reason I have Retail Windows 8.1 rather that OEM...

If I accept the free upgrade from 8.1 to 10, does that mean I get retail 10 so can reinstall it when I change hardware? Or is it going to be locked to my current PC? And if it is... is it going to kill my 8.1 retail license?? Also, if it isn't locked to one PC, whenever I need to do a fresh wipde of the HD am I going to need to install 8.1 from the DVD and then download the upgrade all over again? Hmmmm.

So many questions and the answers don't seem to be available anywhere.
