i just thought
In some Microsoft cases, indicates that the user could possibly modify the hardware
it would therefore be possible with his microsoft account to be able to use windows 10 in case of failure.
but i never got back, if it works

Hello
the windows 10 key is linked to your computer
so normally you can not activate windows 10 from one computer, with another
If your computer, motherboard, is unusable, you cannot recover the windows key
