If you upgrade a Windows 7 retail license to 10, it will get converted to a Windows 10 OEM license, meaning it's tied to that specific hardware. So if you upgrade now and then rebuild your machine, you would need to call Microsoft to get the license transferred over, which I've heard is actually not that hard
