I have a lenovo T430 with win 10 pro installed and activated using the built in 8.1 pro key in the bios. If I install linux and blow away the windows install, will I still be able to activate again if I install windows 10 after the 29th?

You have to update to Windows 10 before the 29th to get the entitlement. If you reinstall on the same hardware after that you will have the automatic activation.
