Can I use hardware embedded keys of windows 8.1 SL for activating windows 10 (build10565)?

I will upgrade to windows 10 once the new build is released.. which will accept keys form windows 8.1/ windows 7.. My laptop is now on windows 8.1 single language the keys of it are embedded. Can i use it just like normal/retail keys?

When you upgrade to Win10 don't enter a key if you are on 8.1.
You will then be able to activate Win10 after it is installed.
