Cloning windows 10 hdd to another hdd for a different pc

Would it be possible to clone a windows 10 hard drive from my existing laptop for a desktop pc?
Technically yes...

However there would be a lot of problems, because of the very different hardware.
You would have to deal with driver incompatibilities and Windows 10 most likely unregistering itself if the hardware is different enough.

But yes, it can be done.

One other issue would be that windows will deactivate itself...that's what I'm dealing with currently.
What would be the cheapest way to get a legal copy? I sàw a posting on my local classifieds thats selling a wide selection of operating systems of both 32 bit and 64 bit for $28.

Do not fall for those pirated KMS based pre-activated windows OS. buy genuine microsoft license in my opinion. Its cheap and full of features.
and yes. as others pointed above. you can clone. but its better that you transfer your data manually and install fresh OS with latest drivers. 🤝

Sending you a pm about this. I'll just donate you a license since I have tons of them left over from my old company.
