A valid, but otherwise unactivated, Win 10 install?
Probably.

Yes it will just be from my Win10 USB. I am switching the motherboard out of my girlfriends computer which she uses very lightly and don't want to buy another key right now.

Given a currently valid Win 10 license linked to a MS account, you can probably transfer that to new hardware for free.

Oh wow thank you! I looked around but couldn't find anything like this. I'll try it out. It is a version that came pre-installed on the computer at the time of purchase, but its worth a shot.

Something that was preinstalled is one of the few cases where it can't be transferred.
But, try it anyway.
