    Can I reuse a windows key from a device with windows preinstalled?


    I bought a laptop from Costco in 2022 that came with windows 11 pre installed. When I build my new PC will I be able to use that license for my new PC build or will I have to repurchase windows 11?

    windows 7 key reuse

    Hey guys,

    I'm selling my 1 year old laptop (laptop 2 in sig), which came with Vista OEM.
    I installed windows 7 on it with a key from MSDN. My best friend(the buyer) will format the laptop before he gives it to his sister, so I wanted to know how I can reuse my key for a new pc in the future.

    I googled a little bit, but I couldn't find a clear answer. Will I have to call Microsoft or something?

    kind regards,
