In addition to it almost certainly not booting up in the new laptop, it will also fail to activate.
The Windows license in the old laptop is almost certainly an OEM license. As such, tied to that original system.

What OS is it specifically?

It will still need a new install on the new laptop, but you'll be able to activate the Win 10 again.
