    Using Windows 7 Home Premium OEM System builder pack on 2 computers?

    You can't transfer an OEM System Builders License; so the answer to your question is NO:

    If the Laptop/Computer came with the Windows Operating System preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc) , that Product Key that came with the Laptop/Computer is for the preinstalled OEM License and is non-transferable.

    The OEM License/Product Key (preinstalled Operating Systems on Dell, HP, etc machines) is tied to the first machine it is installed on and dies when that machine dies.

    The above rule also applies to OEM System Builders Licenses.

    Retail Operating System License, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    But Retail Licenses can also only be installed on one machine at any particular time.

    Heyas folks I'm getting ready to build a new computer and I'm thinking about using windows 7. Are there any cons to using the system builder oem versions of
    Windows 7 for myself as oppose to using a consumer upgrade version?

    OEM licenses are not transferable to new hardware.
