Imagine two machines, each with a working Windows 10 Home license. You want to move the SSD that runs the operating system from one machine to the other without running into issues, provided the drivers are compatible. If both systems have valid licenses, the swap should work smoothly. But if one is a basic Home version and the other a Pro version, compatibility might be affected.

No, not all PC parts are identical and they aren't always OEM licenses.

These components differ. Both were enhanced from Windows 7/8.

You'll need to test it out. An OEM license means the Windows license is linked to the motherboard, while the home user version is connected to your Microsoft account.
