hi guys my boy had a laptop with vista on but wanted win7 so he bought one of that site that gives students discount. i think its a special student edition upgrade .

just wondered if it only allows one computer as i cant find out?

my laptop also runs vista and i wondered if i could slap the disc in and upgrade also

we both have official windows vista installed with proper licenses


if anyone know it would be helpful thanks
 
It's 1 pc at a time, but you can install on as many different pcs as you like as long as you wipe it from the previous one.
 
As above, 1 PC at a time. Post a wanted ad in the members market you may get a cheap deal, Win7 is awesome & well worth upgrading to.

ah dammit the reason i ask is the lads laptop has now been sold a while ago and i just happened to find the win7 upgrade disc in the bottom of the drawer

so your saying its useless now then :(
 
It'll still work and as you still have the disc and licence it's your copy that's genuine in the eyes of MS
