I wouldn't immediately assume there would be no issue. Typically, the Windows key is linked only to that specific laptop because it's an OEM product key. If you try to use it on another PC—especially a different one—it might not work. You could end up needing to contact support for activation, which they probably won't consider.
Once again this is a big misconception. Laptop manufacturers do NOT register windows with the key on the bottom of your laptop. They use a manufacturers key. They do this because typing every single unique windows key would be ridiculous on a manufacturing scale. When you buy a laptop you are also entitled to one reinstall worth of windows ie. one key. So they attach the key that has NEVER BEEN USED to the bottom of your laptop in case you ever have to reinstall windows. Meaning if you have an old laptop which has a key on the bottom YOU CAN use the key on another machine with no problem. Is it OEM? Yes, but it also isn't registered. This is just one more post proving it will work. I'm bookmarking this for future reference on this forum to everyone who says that you can't use the key on the bottom of a laptop. You've proven what I already knew and while people will still spread misconception. At the very least it might educate a couple people.
I've consistently relied on codes for laptop and desktop bottoms, but recently switched to ArcOS 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
I possess this too, yet there are countless young children here who think it won't work. Regardless of how many times they're instructed or presented evidence with, they stubbornly refuse to accept the truth.
Unless it explicitly states otherwise, everything should work. I’ve encountered several labeled as 32-bit or 64-bit, mostly on older Windows 7 systems.
I operate for a small OEM that sells industrial PCs. If I had to type every price manually, it would take me a long time. Our process involves having an image for each model PC, so we just create hard drives for each model we sell. That’s how the larger OEMs manage—using identical PKs for each model in their images. If you doubt this, test two HP or Dell units and run ProdukKey; they’ll match. This is exactly what the expert says, and anyone disputing it is mistaken.
