So on my AMD PC, I'm planning to put an SSHD into it (Seagate 4TB) 

 

Currently I have Windows 10 installed, now. When reinstalling windows, how do I install to the SSHD while using the key I have activated currently? I know with laptops if an OEM key is used it will save in a partition and automatically change, but I don't know about desktops? Thanks.

Yep. Did exactly that a few days ago when reinstalling W10 Home on my laptop. Should activate without needing to input the product code. Gives you two chances to do so, just click on ''skip this step''.

Windows 10 gives you a "I don't have a key" option during install. Since you've already installed W10 on it, it should automatically activate when going online.

Is this locked into the Mobo? I'm planning on switching it out next weekend, but I could reset before then and switch the motherboard after?
