It is the exact same machine, exact same hardware. You are having a go at me for something that isn't relevant. Last night I was hoping to do some more study in a complex number class I am enrolled in, I had been taking notes in mathematica, but am unable to continue as I have to wait until wolfram support decides to reset my activation number. Yes, I agree that it would be better to give mathematica users a way to deactivate the license before reinstalling windows in order to avoid jumping through silly hoops just to get it working again. I used to be frustrated with it when I had a 'PC from parts', but it was well worth it, and I keep it on a mac mini now. Mathematica is an excellent system it's well worth keeping on a 'stable computer' (perhaps a mac mini) and leaving installed for continual use (rather than on a PC that is continually part hacked or continually requiring re-installation (win10? i didn't know that mine seems ok). If you speak to wolfram they might be happy to give discount on a second 'home use' copy. (the license is clear you can only have one running installed copy per purchase) My guess is no: not unless you walked it to a different computer. I might add I cannot verify that a STL is needed for re-installing WIN10. You DO NOT need a system transfer license if your mac mini has to be re-installed. I sympathize with you, I wish I could transfer my 11.x license between an imac and win10 in seconds (dis-allowing the other computer to run at the same time). That's clearly outside of any store purchase scenario. Wolfram can't possibly know if you wish to 'change computers' in the future to something un-supported. You bought the product acknowledging you agreed to use it as intended.

but the same restriction is present for running Windows 10 - so its' one you should be familiar with)

(unless your installing another copy on another computer: which is a breach of license if your using it on two different computers. Just re-use your activation code like everyone else.
