Windows 10 links their license to the motherboard.
So as long as you use the same motherboard, the key will work.
This isn’t possible with VMs sadly.

You can extract the SLIC value from the ACPI table, and then pass it through to QEMU (Example from my Libvirt configuration):
See more details here: gist.github.com/…/49bd034d43e054bd1d8d4fec38c305e…
It is my understanding that this can only be used to run the OEM license one one instance in a VM, on the specific hardware that is originally licensed. IE, you virtualize the license if the bootOS is Linux, but you can’t run 2 instances of the same windows license inside each other.
