i have a copy of windows 7,i installed it onto my laptop,but i want to put on my desktop,i never use laptop so will end up just putting xp back on it,how will i go about transfering the license?
 
Grab everything you want off the laptop and back it up. Format laptop.

Install Windows 7 on Desktop. Activate, transfer your stuff. Done.

This assumes Retail and not OEM.
 
oh it says oem on the box,i got it when i bought my computer from ocuk,i bought the pc and i paid for vista ultimate,and said i got a free upgrade to windows 7,but i put on my laptop to see what it was like compared to vista,since then i never used the laptop.i just wanted to put onto the desktop because vista is causing loads of problems
 
OEM is tied to the board it was installed on, so you can't legally transfer the license to your other pc.

You will need to purchase a new license.
