You could switch the HDD to another IdeaPad if the hardware is the same.(And even if not, Windows fixes a lot of things for you) You might have to enter your BitLocker key afterward if it was encrypted. Activation of Windows 10 home should be ok, in the old one (that died) the key was in the UEFI bios, and in the new one, you will also have a valid key. It could be that Windows activation might pop-up asking you to fix it, but you have a valid license in the hardware of the new machine
