i have a crashed laptop can i use the windows product key on a desktop computer?

no it is tied to the motherboard and other components.

Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Give it a try and find out. As te100 say it can be locked to the motherboard etc but does depend on the laptop manufacturer.
