Can I use my laptop Windows 7 code elsewhere now I bought Windows 8?
Can I use my laptop Windows 7 code on a new desktop I just built, as I bought a separate independent Windows 8 Disk set (32/64) from Amazon for the laptop last month and it runs great now?
(i.e. a Windows 7 OS of mine is going unused; and I need an OS for my new desktop) (only a few days till Activation day)
Or
Should I wipe my laptop hard drive and install the windows 7 on that and re-register the Windows 8 for my new desktop.
I mean Are Microsoft so bothered about which of my computers which OS is on?
I just dont want to mess about too much; MS caused me hundreds of hours of difficulties already; over the years (anyone remember the MS Office smashing documents all over the place when Office 2007 autosaved open Office Word 2000 Docs??). Weeks of destroyed documents I had to fix or lose and re-write (hundreds of pages) until a fix/update came along.
