Do you mean, will something physically stop you from being able to? No
what is the worst that can happen to my laptop with the original OEM key
The worst that can happen is that the key is invalidated by Microsoft, and that any computer that uses it displays a notification that 'This copy of Microsoft Windows is not Genuine'.. and needs to be reinstalled every 30 days, and/or can't be updated, etc. So, you can invalidate the new install and your old install. Essentially, you can make the OEM product key invalid for any and every installation.
And my brother did this for the other computer Avast serial key 2018.
With the OEM key from the bottom? Because here's the deal. When you get your laptop and start using it, there is one product key on the sticker on the bottom of your laptop.. and your laptop is currently installed with a DIFFERENT product key called a Volume License product key. This is a single product key that the laptop manufacturer used on thousands of laptops when they made the hard drive image for mass production. However, the manufacturer is required by law to provide you with a UNIQUE and individual product key, since you are also purchasing a copy of Windows with your laptop. So, provided you haven't had to reinstall Windows yet, you actually have never used the OEM key on the sticker.
If you install this build of the Windows 10 Insider Preview on a PC and it doesn’t automatically activate, you can enter the product key from Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 used to activate the prior Windows version on the same device to activate Windows 10 by going to Settings > Update & security > Activation and selecting Change Product Key. This tutorial will show you how to change the current product key to a different product key to automatically activate your Windows 10 with instead. Device activation improvements: Microsoft has received a lot of feedback from Insiders on making it easier to activate Windows 10 on devices that take advantage of the free upgrade offer to genuine Windows by using existing Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 product keys. You will need an internet connection and must be signed in as an administrator to change the product key and activate Windows 10. Sometimes you may need to change the in Windows 10 if you used a generic key or skipped entering a product key during Windows Setup. ![Windows 10 iso no serial key](/uploads/1/2/4/7/124713925/174496883.jpg)

(EDIT This is easy enough to confirm yourself. Just download any keyfinder software that will pull the MS product key for your installation from your installation, and compare it to the OEM product key on the sticker. If you have never reinstalled Windows on that machine, you will find them to be different. Go Ahead. Try it. Use RockXP or ProduKey or Magical Jellybean.)
So.. Can you use the OEM product key on a second installation of Windows, provided you have NEVER used it on the computer it came with originally? Yes. Is this recommended? No. You know why? What are you going to do when you need that OEM product key for the computer it came with? Oh.. don't give me that 'It's not gonna happen.' Don't blow off the real probability that your hard drive is going to fail in a year or two.. and you will be kicking yourself because you didn't make the recovery discs that you were supposed to (or they don't work right like so many people complain here about).
.. and of course, as has been pointed out very succinctly.. it is illegal too.

One key is licensed for use on one system at a time. Using one key on multiple systems is a violation of the terms for use and illegal.

I tried this. Installed Windows 8 on my desktop, then on my laptop. I used the purchased key from my desktop on my laptop and all that happened was a message saying the key was in use on another machine. That was it. Neither copy stopped working, although I had to get a new key for my laptop. Illustrator cc serial key free.

It will work on as many windows 10 upgrade tool installations as you like and all at the same time with absolutely no problems with activation. Simply use the key you have to activate each copy. As you are using these at home I doubt very much the MS swat team will raid your house and imprison your family.Sleep well.
