| | Dead Laptop - Transfer Windows Home Premium to New Computer? My lappy is dying a certain death and I want to remove the Windows 7 Home Premium OS from it and install it on a new desk top that I am building. Can this be accomplished? I really don't want to spend the $100 for an OEM version when I don't need to. Thank you in advance for the help. |

| | If it is retail then you can migrate it to any machine of your choice. OEM dies with the machine. With Upgrade version, you need to have a qualifying retail XP or Vista on hand which you don't use again, but it doesn't have to be installed. When you boot an Upgrade version DVD to clean install to a new HD, you need to wait until after install to insert the Product Key and activate so you can do a workaround given here: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version The Registry change is much easier I have found. |
