can i give away my old copy of vista

All MS cares about is that the key is legit, and its only installed and in use on any 1 PC at any given time.

No it doesn't.

He HAD Vista, and got a NEW (full) copy of Seven.

hello
i have a copy of vista 32bit that i got at walmart some time back. then had mirosoft upgrade it to the 64bit version.
i no longer use vista and a friend still has xp and i want to gave him the vista disk and key.is this legal as long as i'm not using it any more and not charging him for it?
thanks scrooge

Is the 64 bit a Vista or Win 7? Did Win 7 come installed in your new PC?

when i upgraded ms said use the same key that was on the box.and thay sent me the 64 bit disk for i think it was like $10.00 or so.when i got the disk i installed it with the key on the box and it worked. and it's a full version not a upgrade.

7 is a oem with a new system.

the disk was a upgrade from vista 32 bit to vista 64 bit. but it is the full version.

Did your new PC come with Win 7 installed?

scrooge said:

ok well thanks for all the input .
i'm just going to do it and see what happens . cause i hate to trash something that someone else can use.

again thanks all.

I just hope you know that if you and your friend are using the same Key, that one day you will wake up to a blank screen.

Thank you for the clarification, since your not using Vista 32 or 64 then yes you can give it away with the key and he will be fine installing it
