    Dear All,

    I've bought a one-user copy of Windows 7 from a legitimate source 'cause I'm tired using faulty copies. Now, I've got a question. If I install this copy of Windows on my new PC and then, for some reason, decide to sell it... can I just format the HDD and install my legal copy of Win7 on another PC?

    Thanks

    If it is OEM version NO. If it is regular consumer version, yes.
