Transferring rights

Post by LeslieG on Thu 17 Dec 2009 - 8:58

I purchased a full version of Windows 7 home premium with both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. My intention was to put it on my machine as a christmas gift to myself. On reflection I have decided to give it to my youngest son as a Christmas present. Currently he has a full copy of Vista, 32 bit, which is for one machine only. My puzzle at this moment is, as I am still on XP will I be able to take his, which will be defunct after Xmas Vista full version and put it on my machine. Any views on this??????

Hi Smile
Usually OS already installed are oem.
As such are for that PC.
However, often with a free phone to MS.
You can get around it.
Basically implying that the original PC is screwed, but you still have the OS.
So what you've done in effect is a major upgrade of PC.

I found Microsoft very helpful when I rang the up regarding something similar.

I installed the Vista package on my machine making it dual booted (I kept XP as I am still a great fan) When I installed the internet on the same drive my Vista was immediately verified. Great news!!!
