You won't need to pay if it's a retail version of windows that you upgraded, it can be moved from machine to machine.

So presumably once you've installed w10 for the first time via the upgrade there must be a way to identify your new license code for future clean installation on a new machine.

Dunno cookie, not tried it yet personally so I can't vouch for what I've read.

Chances are then if your using retail you might have to do a confirmed de-installation first before you can transfer. However I'm only guessing as I can't seem to find any info on exactly how this will play out.

I vaguely remember that with W7 there was a way to use upgrade media to do a clean install, maybe W10 will have something similar.
