Switch computers with retail version
I am wondering what the process is to switch computers with a retail version of Windows.
Say you have Windows 7 installed on one computer and need to do a clean install on a different one. How do you "de-activate" one to make the new install activate? I don't understand how this works. I will have to do it in the next few days with Vista and will need to do it with Windows 7 this winter.
I assume you would just install on the new computer and have to call MS but I'm hoping it's easier than this.
