    I think you can only use it on the same laptop. If you were to switch, then i'm pretty sure you'd have to call up microsoft and go thought that whole deal in order to de-activiat/reactivate.

    OEM licenses cannot be transfered, period. So no, and not under any condition.

    What is a nice way of putting it, let me see. It's important for me to find just the correct words to express my feelings: Lenovo are bastards for not including real install disks with their computers.

    Can you believe that I spoke with a tech person who actually thought that Microsoft Windows never needs reinstallation?
