If laptop was purchased with Windows 10 (some incarnation like
"home",...), then when you will install Windows 10 the same incarnation on
it, it will read its "authorization code , registration number or whatever
prevents it from telling you "buy/ register... from UEFI. If you switched
boot from UEFI to BIOS when installing Linux this will not work, but just
switch boot back to UEFI before installing Windows, and registration will
auto-magically work for you.
I hope, this helps.
