I recently acquired a Lenovo laptop that still has the previous users data. I would like to reinstall Windows 10 using the 'Reset this PC' option in the settings, but I am wondering whether that will revoke the Windows license. I presume that it has OEM-installed Windows, and that the license is therefore tied to the motherboard, but I am not sure. So, will I get an 'Activate Windows' message after reinstalling or am I okay and reinstalling the OS won't void the activation?
