No. It is locked into the hardware and wont activate on a new PC. You will have to purchase it.

Is it an OEM key?

 

Using a Windows 7 Professional key from my F@H PC on my new rig for Windows 10 worked.

If it does not activate, you can still use the PC but it will spam you with messages about not being activated usually.

Windows can be installed without activation, but it won't be full featured.
