    Hello Baccini,

    Is it retail or OEM.

    OEM - No Chance im afraid.

    Retail - Definitetly - Just make sure you uninstall windows from the old PC before installing on new PC.

    Then it's retail. OEM's are only a single disk and no box, just a sleeve.

    Agree with Ken.

    My OEM came in what looks like a DVD movie case but no box.
