IIRC as long as you haven't stuck it on any machine its Ok to sell

 

[deankenny]

its already been on my machine before?but not on there now

You should be able to sell it as long as you dont make a profit off of it. And make sure its completely un-installed off your comp.

 

[deankenny]

i dont think ill make a profit lol, as its second hand on ebay

According to MS, you can sell it if it's a retail box version, profit or no, but you can't if it's an OEM version... It has to go with the computer it came on.

PC's dont come with the original installer anyways so you can rule out the OEM.

 

[SirKenin]

They don't eh? Hmmm. Seems to me I give one with each new machine I sell... So does Dell. So does Asus.

You know what? I would just stay on the safe side and not sell operating systems and software unless you get a written OK from the company. Just to be safe...some companies don't mind it much and some companies whine like a baby.

mines a retail version bought from pc world

 

[voyagerfan99]
