Will win10 activation fail if laptop hard drives are swapped once?
In general, there were 2 laptops, they worked, 1 was weaker, but with a live battery, the second was more powerful, but without it.
I assembled the desktop, and removed the ssd disk from the first laptop, and left the second one as a fallback. Tomorrow you need to go to a business meeting, and it would be nice to take any laptop with you.
If I take out the hard drive from the 2nd laptop and put it on the first one (the one with the battery), will win10 activation fail? I do not have a boxed version, but an oem, in short, it has been updated from 7ki.
it's also not a problem if I put it, it will fly off, the meeting will pass, I will return the disk to the "native laptop" and everything will be ok.

the activation key is encrypted on the disk but not in the processor, RAM or something else.
That is, Windows will not fly off
Formally, you can change any component in the system, the exception is the motherboard (hence the restriction on changing the intel processor - amd).
But I know for sure that cheap oem licenses may not allow this.
ps hard, optical and solid state drives can be changed as much as you like. Video cards can also be changed, network peripherals, usb controllers, mice and keyboards were changed on the cheapest home installations. There were no problems with RAM either.
I don’t even know if there is anything in the computer other than the processor and the motherboard, to which the license is critical to change.
