    Hi, as subject says:

    Will my Ideapad 510 have the windows 10 serial key in the bios if it had windows 7 on first?

    I am wanting to do a full format of my system to sell, i was wanting to just use a windows 10 installation disc and wondered if the windows 10 product key will now be embedded instead of the windows 7 key? and if not how do i know what it is if i format?

    I upgraded to windows 10 via lenovo's free update at the time.

    Thanks

    James
