Hello everyone, I’m asking if it’s possible to bring my Windows 10 pre-installed laptop hard drive from Lenovo into my own custom system. Thanks!

You’ll likely need a replacement key since most brands use OEM W10 keys that can’t be used on other boards.

I once attempted that and Windows wouldn’t even start, so... Perhaps yours will, but as @knighslugger mentioned: you might need a different key.
