I have a retail Windows 10 Home license. I'm building a custom rig with 2 separate SSD. I plan to install Windows 10 Home separately on both SSD. Is it possible to reuse the same product key and activate them both since technically it is still 1 PC or machine. Everything else including the mobo, gpu, etc. are the same of course the only different thing is the hard drive. The installation will then have 2 product IDs although all the hardware have the same serial numbers, NIC, or MAC address to verify it to Microsoft activation server. Can you enlighten me? The reason why I need to do this is to dual boot both Windows 10 Home for separate use. 1. Work. 2. Gaming. I don't want to combine them and I want to have separate operating systems to run the task. Will this be against their EULA? Tq.
