At this point of time, only God knows.
EDIT: Half of the programs are reporting: (YTMG3----- key) and half of them are reporting the other one. Damn you - Microsoft!

I did an inplace upgrade i.e upgrade within Win 7 system with ISO.
So users those did upgrade with Windows Updates i.e GWX too got the mentioned key or unique key?

Windows 10 upgrade went pretty smooth on one of my dual booted machines.Emsisoft Internet Security crashed so for now I uninstalled it and installed ESS 8 which installed without a problem

My EIS didn't crash but the firewall does not work in Windows 10, so essentially I have EAM and am using Windows firewall until Emsisoft has a fix.
Microsoft doesn't know how their system works LOL.
I contacted them via Live chat and they say that isn't normal. They connected remotely to my PC using logmein rescue and checked the key. The solution was "format do 8.1 and then upgrade, you should get a different (non generic) key".
They don't know how their licence system works... GJ Microsoft!

Upgrade took about 1 hr & 45 min, everything went smoothly. So far so good, I'm doing a little tweaking at the moment. I noticed that Adguard for windows had to be manually reconnected for about 3 or 4 reboots after installing Win 10,
but its now working properly.
but its now working properly.
I didn't even get the GWX icon so i found a solution delete all files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and then the GWx icon appeared then i had to upgrade windows 8.1 with the windows 10 creation tool kit also put the windows 10 on a usb stick.#
Then i did a fresh instal from the usb stick done the diskpart thing before to align ssd skipped the insert key when windows 10 booted up it was activated took me all bleeding day.
But i found the toolkit was the quickest way to download wiondows.

Microsoft told me that everyone will have the generic keys and activation is based on your hardware ID, that's why they say to upgrade first so that they get your hardware ID and then do the clean install and do not enter any product key during setup and when finished upon connecting to the internet your Windows 10 should be activated.

I could have probably reinstalled EIS but I will use ESS until Emsisoft comes out with a fix

1) Delayed updates may still occur until for the next week since the amount of users who want to grab are still outburst.
2) Try to force an update via CMD many times, sometimes its not totally quick to pop up the Windows 10 updates.
3) Patiently wait sometimes, regions are vary on the delivery rate.
4) install all updates as possible and keep refreshing.

If you've previously reserved your windows 10 copy then you don't even need that icon, just upgrade it from ISO.

I'm still waiting for my order (USB Flash Drive 32Gig) to arrive. I'll create a bootable rescue disk first before upgrading. Yeah, I already reserved my copy. But I didn't download the installer yet.

You've enough time destroy, Windows 8.1 as much as you can
Hi,
That's nice to hear. I tried Microsoft support but they said me what I have said above, and then they asked me to speak with another Microsoft tech via live chat and remote assistance to check the generic licence thing and the second tech told me the same thing "this isn't normal, upgrading should generate a new key, you need to format again to W8.1 and repeat the hole upgrade process again".
But now I have a question about what they have said to you. My licence was a 8.1 pro retail, that means I can change my hardware or device, it isn't oem... But this way, if it's registered by hardware ID, a retail licence is basically an oem licence, right?
