Dell Windows 7 OA Key- Use on another PC

0

If I have a Windows 7 COA Sticker on my PC... (it isnt specifically labeled Dell COA) Is it possible that I could use that same key on a totally different PC? My dell computer is outdated. I wanted to install that license on a custom PC I've built. Will that work? I know I would have to possibly call in to activate it. Any useful info would help. Thanks guys!

Yes, it is possible.

But:

  1. Possible does not mean that it is legal to do so.
  2. Should you have a non OEM version of windows on the old Dell (e.g. because it came with XP and you bought a full retail version of windows in a shop and installed that on the Dell) then you will need to wipe the old win7 from the Dell.
    1 License -> 1 computer.

Nah..the old Dell has Vista installed on it..its not using the Win & COA. I would also wipe the old Dell once i get Windows installed on the NEW pc. – Wayne-Z – 2013-02-16T15:43:35.057

@Wayne-Z - If the Windows 7 license is not an OEM license then you can install it on another system. – Ramhound – 2013-02-16T23:04:08.187
