Transffering OS Licence key to a different computer

[Akareza]

Hi, i was wondering i can uninstall my OS (on dell computer) and then reinstall it with the cd key on a new computer..? wondering if that will work out

do i even have to uninstall the old OS for this process to work?

thanks!

I want to do this today so your feedback today is really appreciated.

hmm looks like it is not legal... dose that mean i wont be able to get updates if i do it?

thats how im running my system(dont worry, temp install) and no, its not legal
you have to buy a new one from newegg, or microsoft, or bestbuy etc...

can you update it online though, or you just download the packs?

it would be the same as it was on the other system
dont do it, its illegal, buy a new cd/product key

Ive done it, calling microsoft and switching key because of a bad motherboard. Im positive going from a dell oem to say a built intel that was not dell will not work. You could switch from an issue from dell to another dell though. the oem is a group license only for dell.
