| | If its a Retail version yes. Retail versions can be moved to another PC. If its OEM technically no, if you follow the EULA its not transferable. |

| | Hi Alphanumeric, Thanks for speedy reply. It is a retail copy of Windows 7 Premium, and I will be upgrading from Vista on the other PC. How does activation work in a case like this ? Thanks. derricksmythe68 |

| | If you boot the Windows 7 DVD and there is no other OS on the HD for it to see, then it will reject the Upgrade version key up front during install. Skip it to Clean Install Windows 7 After install do the quick registry workaround in Option 3 in Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version to activate Upgrade version key on new or wiped HD. |

| | If it won't activate online just use the activate by phone option and tell them you moved it to a new PC and it will only be used on that PC. |
