    Using an old license from windows 7


    I have a couple of old windows 7 laptops that are too slow to use, and I was wondering if even though they are oem licenses, if they can be taken off of those laptops and installed on another laptop? I was going to use a chromebook so I'm not using two licenses on one laptop for no reason, trying to use a copy of windows on a device that I could make use of it on

    :)

    Windows 7 license question

    Hi. Is it possible to take a Windows 7 Pro license that's currently installed on a Dell laptop and move that to a Dell desktop and take the Windows 7 Home license from the Dell desktop and install that on the laptop? I would just be switching the licenses from one to another. I get conflicting answers. The desktop would have a new hard drive installed on it and more RAM. I would be doing a fresh install on BOTH machines using a legitimate bloat free Windows disk. Thanks!
