Ubuntu to Windows 7 With The Old XP Licence Code

[saprolith]

I've had a look at the forum and can't really find an answer to my query.

About 4yrs ago I switched entirely to Linux due to the general instability and speed of my XP systems.

I have one valid XP licence from a Dell laptop now running Ubuntu but daughter No1 has used Windows 7 elsewhere and now wants it on her own homebuilt desktop.

Not being one for conflict I have agreed but here's my question.

Can I use the licence from my Dell laptop with an upgrade edition of Windows 7 on a clean install on the homebuilt desktop which has never had any version of Windows on it.

The Dell laptop runs Ubuntu and always will so I'm using a valid licence just on another machine, it seems an honest thing to do at least in my mind.

Thanks in advance.

As long as the upgrade disc is not an OEM version, you shouldnt have any problem...

Thanks.

The new Windows 7 disc will be purchased through the Microsoft Education discount system here in the UK so I guess it will be the 'full fat' version.
