Hey everyone. I’ve got Windows 10 home edition installed on my current rig. Just wondering—can I use this same license on a second computer, or am I stuck with just one activation?

Not gonna happen... a product key is tied to just one machine. If you try to activate the same key on multiple computers, Microsoft will basically blacklist it—then you'll be stuck having to buy a whole new one.

If it’s an OEM license, then no. If it’s a Retail version, you can, but you wouldn't be able to run it on both computers at the exact same time.

One license per computer.
You won't find expensive licenses on eBay or sites like that.
