    Windows 10 links their license to the motherboard.

    So as long as you use the same motherboard, the key will work.

    This isn’t possible with VMs sadly.

      You can extract the SLIC value from the ACPI table, and then pass it through to QEMU

      See more details here: https://gist.github.com/Informatic/49bd034d43e054bd1d8d4fec38c305ec

      It is my understanding that this can only be used to run the OEM license one one instance in a VM, on the specific hardware that is originally licensed. IE, you virtualize the license if the bootOS is Linux, but you can’t run 2 instances of the same windows license inside each other.
