What I did is pull my w10 key from the registry after activating. Then you have the physical key and can argue the case more strenuously. I recommend everyone grab their key after upgrading and keeping it in a safe place.

According to this page, it is pretty clear that if you have a Windows 7 or 8 Retail license (not a previous OEM license), then it is transferable:

I believe the "Contact Customer Support" option should still exist. If nothing else, you can go to Start and type "Contact Support" and hit enter. This should launch an applet that walks you through contacting support. Choose:
Services & Apps > Windows > Setting Up. If it is during business hours, it should give you a phone number. It looks like, for me, business hours are Mon-Sun 8:00am - 11:00pm.
I found tweets from Microsoft reps who referenced hardware upgrades and to contact support if activation fails. But, calling the Volume License Activation Numbers isn't customer support. Those are "paid-by-the-call" grunts. They can't help you much if you don't have a Volume License.

A bunch of people posted how to do this, and then everyone realized that everyone who had upgraded had one of three or four keys. Those are useless.

Fascinating. I hadn't seen that info yet. Well that sucks!

Here's one of the threads:

But there were more, where a few different iterations (probably depending on region, upgrade path, and other specifics about your setup) of keys that people reported, but I think they all match.
