    Do you have the Windows 7 ISO or disk then? We here have no idea if that is still valid or active anymore you need to talk to MS support about this since they are the owner of the O/S your talking about.

    The upgrade should be transferable, reformat the old computer with Home and use the upgrade on the new computer. You'll still need some flavor of Windows 7 (Pro or Home) installed on the new comp before upgrading.
