You can usually only use an OEM copy on one system, but it should also be able to be re-installed on that one system.

Thy hath sinneth, and in thy life thou hast fallen to an unholy, unspeakable level of humanity. Thou hast given into your basest needs. And suffered many years under thine Satan-box. However, if thine be willing, as thy hast show yourself to be, thy can ascendeth into thy glorious fold of the glorious church. Go well, my brother, may your temps be low and your frames high. ~ MrDynamicMan

ok thanks. how would they know that im not trying to use it on multiple systems if the key is already activated. if i went to do a clean install of the system and put my key in i used wouldnt it say that its already been activated or something ?

ive got windows 10 oem on my pc now and want to do a clean install but wondering if its just going to say that ive already used this key.

It'll work with one PC. So you can reinstall it on your PC again. It won't work when you try to install it on another PC/Laptop.
