Best bet is just to try it and see before buying a new one. I get my windows 10 key free from the college but I've used it on my main pc and my laptop and it worked fine.

Did you just Uninstall the product key on one computer and put it into another?

I found an article here and it sounds as if you can but you will need to unregister the key. The person above may have a student licence of some sort.
