When reinstalling Windows 7, does the language, version, architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) or source (OEM, retail, or MSDN) matter?
I was thinking of buying Windows 7 Ultimate to be installed on an old computer. In due time, I will be giving this old computer away.
The question is:
- Will I have trouble transferring the Windows 7 Ultimate license to another PC?
- If yes, do I need to watch out for any issues?
- What exactly is Microsoft's stance/policies towards license transfers?
- How many times can I transfer before it becomes illegal?
Answer
If you are purchasing a "retail copy" from a shop, you should not have any problems transferring it to another computer.
If you do run into a problem activating (which occasionally does happen) simply calling the Microsoft activation line (number given during the activation wizard) will allow you to activate it with a special code that you type in.
