I am using a copy of Windows 10 Home 64-bit on my Asus laptop, I also have a copy of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on my Thinkpad x61. I was wondering, is it possible to use the thinkpads product key on the asus, and if so can I activate it as a windows 10 pro os as oppose to a home os. If I activate it will it have any negative effects such as broken files? If It worked would it restore my system to factory new?

IM BACK BABY

unless you bought a retail windows key (for $120), the keys are tied to the motherboard and cant be transfered
