Hi guys.

Never sure anout Windows and the licences. Ive almost finished my 2nd pc build to use for recording/streaming purposes. Can I install my Windows 10 to 2nd pc as its linked to my microsoft account? Or do i need to buy another copy?

If you've got two PCs you should have two Windows licences.

Two PC's = two copies needed! Microsoft do log the details of every PC you register. I had a number of copies of Windows once and couldn't be bothered to open all the packets so just used the same key for several PC's. A short time later I started getting letters from Microsoft lecturing me about pirate software. In the end I bothered to open all the packets and use the correct numbers to shut them up!! I think the point is you may get away with it, but be advised that they will probably monitor what you are doing for some time to come. Honestly I wouldn't go there. It's not worth the saving either in cost or time opening packets.
