There is also the fun part where Windows won't recognize your PC / accept your license after some upgrades...
Yup.
Build PC
Activate Windows
Motherboard develops a fault
Get a refund/replacement
Install it
Windows is no longer activated, because they tied it to the motherboard...
motherfuckers... that's awful.

Yes. You need to do it in a PowerShell, not a regular command prompt insofar as I know.
