    Hi,
    I'd say run this on his machine

    If it says Retail near the top it should be transferable to another mother board.
    Post the info.

    Hi Marshall,
    He can sell you a retail or an UNused system Builder key only.
    OEM keys are tied to the original computer on which it was sold.

    If the key is any of the following dont even think about it
    FJGCP-4DFJD-GJY49-VJBQ7-HYRR2
    VQ3PY-VRX6D-CBG4J-8C6R2-TCVBD
    2Y4WT-DHTBF-Q6MMK-KYK6X-VKM6G
    342DG-6YJR8-X92GV-V7DCV-P4K27
    MHFPT-8C8M2-V9488-FGM44-2C9T3
    22TKD-F8XX6-YG69F-9M66D-PMJBM
    6K2KY-BFH24-PJW6W-9GK29-TMPWP
    49PB6-6BJ6Y-KHGCQ-7DDY6-TF7CD
    YJJYR-666KV-8T4YH-KM9TB-4PY2W

    note that report will show only the last 3 sets of the key

    I am not a geek but he told me he had ultimate key with dvd i honestly dont know whether it's orignal or fake or even what kind of serial key it is.

    The keys you mentioned above are fake

    Hi Marshal,
    not fakes, (apart from PMJBM) but base OEM code keys, which cannot be transferred to another comp.
    just ask him for the last block.

    $70 for a working legitimate Windows 7 Ultimate key is a steal, if it`s good, grab it.

    The dvd is an after thought, we can always post a link for you to create your own install dvd, the key is what`s important

    Hi,
    Yea if he doesn't have the version installed
    Just ask him to go here for a iso download of the version and language
    If he gets a download from M$ it's a retail

    He can also look at his Product ID if he still has Ultimate installed right now, if you see OEM in the string then it`s OEM.

    But an OEM Windows 7 Ultimate install is very rare, usually only came with a special order PC.

    99% of Ultimate installs will be retail.

    Almost every install of Ultimate we see here is bogus.

    Here you are a real OEM Ultimate.
    I purchased the parts and built her, then purchased the OEM O.S. from my boss a MS wholesaler.
