Switch Win 7 OS from HP to Pro - New Laptop & Old Laptop
I have 5 year old Vista laptop (Compaq) that was upgraded to Win 7 Pro retail copy. I just bought a new laptop (Acer) that has OEM Win 7 HP installed on it. I was thinking of installing the old Win 7 Pro on the new laptop - Acer (only if there are any performance differences) and transfer the OEM Win 7 HP to the old one - Compaq.
I have two questions-
1. Is it worth in terms of performance and day to day usage to upgrade to Win 7 Pro from HP?
2. Can switch OS licenses around without any trouble? I should technically be able to do that because both are legally mine. Are there any issues doing the switch?
I will create an image of both HDD and also burn recovery disks for the new laptop before making this switch.
Thanks for the help.
