    Apparently I will be prompted for an installation key when I do a fresh install. I assume I can use my Win 8.1 key

    No. You have to update first. At that time Microsoft will store a hashed key (hardware cofig) of your system on a server somewhere. Then when you do the fresh install it will know you are already annointed to use 10 and off you go. I've a had a new machine since just before 10 was released ready to put 10 on. Still no OS what so ever on there as I can't be arsed to faarrrkkkk around with Microsoft's shit just yet.
