Install Full Disc Version Windows 10 Pro

Hi Gang

I purchased an unsealed Full Version Disc W10 Pro.

I already used it (installed it) in one machine (Dell Precision 3620).

I bought another used machine Dell Precision 3620 (with NEW HD) and would like to install the same Full Disc Version Windows 10 Pro. Can I proceed? Could someone please provide the Key Prompt (booting off the disc set in Bios)?

Thank You!

    "you will have to purchase another license from MS"

    How difficult is that? Its my understanding Microsoft doesn't sell Licenses for W10 Pro anymore?

    Its also my understanding that I could use a creator tool to make disc (which also seems vague).

    I think I'd rather just buy another GENUINE Full Install Disc which are STILL available. Note the GENUINE product key and License Number - Sample image:

    To boot the disc, just simply insert it into the machine's DVD drive.  Tap F12 key at power on to select the disc from one time boot menu.  No BIOS settings is necessary unless the system does not recognize the optical drive.  Sometimes, system will automatically boot the disc when there is no other bootable device present.

    As for the license concern, the 3620 may already has one embedded.  If the Windows installation went through without asking you to enter key, then it found one and will activate when system is online.  If the installation asking to enter key, just tick the box don't have key and you can purchase one to activate it later.

    You can install Windows 10 from that disk on another system but you will have to purchase another license from MS to activate the installation.
