If you already had a working key from Nook Study that the Alf plug-in found, it should be the same for books downloaded using the Windows 10 app. At least that has been my experience.

I haven't purchased a book from B&N for years, but all the ones that I had previously purchased, I can still download with the Windows 10 app, import to Calibre and DRM is removed. (The epub in the Nook folder had DRM, the imported epub in the Calibre folder did not.)

I'm pretty sure the Alf plug-in was able to obtain a key from the Windows 10 app. I purchased a Surface that has never had Nook Study installed. I installed the app, Calibre and the Alf plug-ins and have not had DRM issues. Others said the same worked for them. Still others say it does not. It's a crap-shoot.

I just bought the new Nook 7.8" reader and I am very happy with it. I just don't buy my books from B&N.
I think that is wise. I'm not advocating for people to keep buying from B&N. Just want to say there may still a way to access previously purchased books.
