Upgrading cpu to 6600, will I keep windows?

[syks]

I'm defo going to upgrade my cpu to the i5 6600 this summer but have a couple of questions, will I keep my windows 10 if I change cpu? I guess quite a few of you have changed cpu with Windows 10 already?

Also will this cpu be good enough to comfortably run a gtx 1070 as I'm going to be upgrading to one as well at some point,.

Thanks

You can tie your windows 10 activation to your Microsoft ID. Look under activation in settings and it will say if yours already is.

thanks for that, when I payed a pc builder to upgrade my mobo and cpu last year I had to pay for him to reinstall windows 10 on my pc, he done it via buying a key online, it says under activation that my windows 10 is activated using orginizations activation service?

thanks for replies, I'm not sure what version he put on there, I just know its windows 10 pro and he bought the key online to install it, he didn't give me the windows key either and not sure how I find out what it is I wanted to change the cpu myself this time as never done it before but seems simple enough and it would have saved me money paying someone to do it, looks like I might have to take it back to the guy that done the upgrade for me to do it again
