A friend of mine wants to upgrade to Win 7 but wants to take advantage of the pricing on an OEM version of Win 7. His pc is 4 years old and he expects to upgrade it in a year or so. Here’s the question.
If he upgrades down the road and wants to re-use the OEM copy of Win 7 on the new computer, will MS reject the “validation” of the software.
I’ve never been asked the question before and have never run into the issue in my job so I couldn’t answer his question.
Has anyone had experience that MS will in fact NOT validate the OEM OS on a 2nd installation in a different computer?
Thanks for the help.
