Windows 10: Can I reinstall Win10 on a different Drive and still keep my Key?

So I have an unique problem I guess. I just build my pc and I didn't wanted to buy a new Produkt key when old gaming laptop had a perfectly working Windows 10 version. I plugged the ssd from the laptop into my PC and reinstalled windows but it installed a lot of junk that came with the laptop. A bunch of Aus apps I don't want. I have another ssd with one terrybyte in my PC and I would love install a clean Win 10 on that Ssd and just use my Produkt key from the other version. Is that possible? Or will the software think that Produkt key is allready being used?
