Possible to dual boot Win 10 with same key?

Just wondering if it's possible for me to dual boot Windows 10 from two different drives (two different installations) using the same key.

Given that the hardware ID's will be similar would this work? It would be a temporary setup for troubleshooting purposes.

Thanks

Considering you can run Windows 10 without a key quite happily - why worry? I assume this is a current drive out, new drive in scenario?

Nope. Have 2 SSDs, one is for games. Want to install Windows on the second SSD (already on the first) in order to do some troubleshooting of graphics issues.

I cloned one SSD to another the other day and both still have Windows 10 on. I can easily boot from either of them without issue. I think it would be ok.

I did it with Win XP but didn't know if it was still doable. Thanks only1.
