How many devices can i use with my Windows 10 Pro licence?

Question

The question's in the subject really! I bought the usb of Windows10 Pro, which is installed on my laptop. Can I also use it on another pc, which has a work (previous employer) edition installed? The pc needs a general clean up, but it also gets annoying being told I can't make changes as I don't have administrative rights. The company I worked for no longer exists so I can't ask anyone there to help out.

Thanks

Hi @David Barr ,

it depends on the number of Windows 10 Pro licenses you bought not on the number of installation media (usb).
One license = one device.
If the Windows 10 license is used on your laptop you need a second license for the "other pc".

For most it will be a single activation but I'd check the sales order documents to confirm how many were purchased.
