Hi

Can I reinstall my Windows 10 Pro that I got from g2a? The reason I am doing this is because I am moving the hard drive to a new computer. I still have the Product ID and Key, it is not OEM

To install Windows 10 to a drive when you move it to another computer, you'll need either a USB with the Windows 10 ISO files in it, or an installation disc with the same Windows 10 ISO files in it. The Product ID and Key is only for when you're upgrading from another version of Windows. :) 

My Daily Driver:

 

Acer Predator Helios 300
»« Intel Core i5-8300H »« 16GB DDR4 RAM »« NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB »« Silicon Power A60 512 GB M.2 SSD »« Toshiba PC L200 1 TB HDD »« Microsoft Windows 10 Home »«

Did you pay over $80 for your key? If not, then it is OEM. Most keys from G2A are OEMs. Win10 is easier with new drivers so you could move drive and just reactivate/login to MS account. But if your key is OEM, I'm not sure if it will activate. I've read mixing comments about it and I don't really have enough hardware to test it.
