Hello everyone I think I know the answer to this but just asking to make sure. So I was going to sale my Custom PC that I got Windows 7 a year go on it. I was wanting to know if I sale my computer without installing windows or anything on it if I then can turn around and install it on my iMac using the same key.

Is Windows 7 installed upon the PC now? If so Go to Control Panel>System page, scroll down to Activation information and look at the Product ID. Does it have "OEM" in the string? If so it is locked to that computer for life.
If there is no OEM in the Product ID string then it is retail and can most likely migrate to another PC. To find out for sure ask your computer builder or call MS Customer Service.
