Using a legit windows 10 key on cracked version

I had my desktop built at the store and was told windows will be installed for me. At first I didn't think much of it but just a few days I've been getting popup saying my windows licence is going to expire. I went to call up the store wanting to know what's up and got told it was a cracked version and gave me a link. But I was thinking if I used a actual windows key will it work? Will is spoil anything?

Windows cracks often come bundled with malware. Reinstall Windows don't risk it. It's not that hard to do, we can guide you through the process if you want, all you need is a flash drive.

And tell the people at that store that they are idiots, Windows 10 can be used without a license key and does not need to be cracked. A cracked version of Windows will cause you more issues then an unactivated one.

you can always reinstall windows OS on top of old windows installation, keeping all files and programs.

however, to be sure, it is always good to do clean installation of windows (delete system drive), input your legit key during (or after) installation.
