Can you re-sell (with original computer) an OEM licence of Windows ?

I'm going to sell my old pc - and currently have Windows 7 on it (full version, not OEM)

I was going to sell old PC (mobo, cpu, ram, gpu, HDD, case, psu etc) - with no-OS on it - but then realised before I went to Windows 7 - I had Vista OEM on it

now I didn't upgrade Vista OEM to Windows 7 - I bought a new full retail licence

Would I be able to re-sell my old PC with the Vista OEM licence on it ?

thanks, Buckster

Yes. Pretty rare to get a question to do with OEM were the answer is yes

Crowort - thanks - my thoughts exactly -it seemed "ok" - but as you said OEM licences are very restricted so wasn't sure if you can pass on from person to person - b ut I guess its "locked"/tied down to the PC not a person

Its not exactly selling a copy of windows.is it. More selling the computer with windows as an integral part, like the ram or CPU.

It has to be sold specifically with the motherboard to be valid.
