hi all,

was just wondering. i have been using windows 7 on a partition on my macbook pro for the past year or so. however i have recently purchased/built a gaming desktop and want to use this copy of windows on it. will removing said partition automatically unistall and remove the licensing of this copy of windows on my mac and allow me to install on my new pc? because it is only licensed for use on one machine, and it would be crazy to purchase a new os for my new system.

thanks for any help!
 
Did you purchase a retail version of Windows 7, or OEM?

If OEM, you cannot re-use the licence. You will require a new licence for your new PC.

If Retail, then you can just install to the new computer, and removing the partition on your MBP will suffice. There is no "un-registering" of a currently installed operating system.
