    I don't think so because it registers as a serial code. I wouldn't know because I got Vista pre-installed.

    Well, what you could do is keep the Vista Premium on the computer, and with the new laptop use the Anytime Upgrade to upgrade from Basic to Premium. If you mean running Premium on both computers with one CD and one serial code, no, it doesn't work.
