- personal experience with "oem" keys : 2x win10 pro + 1x office were deactivated by MS in two years, 2017-2018
now at prices like these 10-15$ it's no big deal compared to a standard key, just buy another one it's cheap, but it's a possibility, MS seems to scan and checks for keys ending up in computers they shouldn't every x months (mine were from China maybe that's why)
- I switched permanently to win10 this month and found out there were several tweaks and utilities I couldn't use because my legit non-oem win10 is home edition :/ so definitely get a pro

Can I buy a Windows 10 Pro key, but not use it now? It's for a probable AMD Zen 2 build next year.

@scatman839 the disparity of price is from OEM licence / normal licence and what edition is chosen... pro normal version nearly never change price and OEM are more fluctuant.
@huilun02 no you can't activate a Win10 Home install with a Pro key... but you can upgrade to pro install with pro key (btw exept for lan and few stuff, i don't see why to get pro for normal use despite i use it myself... ).
