Do I have to buy another Windows 7?

Jessica said:

The reason I posted here in the first place was because no one could give me a straight answer.

Do you have an OEM or retail license?

OEM - Tied to one PC.

Retail - Can be used on different PC's, but you must uninstall it from the first PC it was installed on originally.

Simples.

The OP wants to know if it will be possible to move the HDD with Windows still installed and then re-activate in a new machine, as it's retail it should be possible using one of the methods in that tutorial.

Will y'all look at the #5 post.

Good point, I missed that one. But now I don't understand why Jessica is still confused.

Jessica shouldn't be now, I hope.

To be fair, they might think just because they bought it of the net, that's what it is, which is why I posted the slmgr -dli so she could check, and you yourself asked "if it is full retail".

Fair enough.

All should then be OK.

Correct.
