I did a test. Did in-place upgrade with the EXE. After it rebooted into the WinPE install environment, I shut down and changed BIOS to UEFI and deployed Win10 with MDT.
It's not activated. Looks like you have to go through the entire Win10 upgrade. =( *shakes fist at Microsoft* Why you gotta make stuff complicated.

The only way I've seen/read that this can be done is to do an upgrade - get that key generated where it's stored on Microsoft's servers, then do a clean install. At which time the machine will check back into the servers and pick up it's generated key. You have to hop twice through the server process and actually complete the install as I understand it.
