windows 7

Hi im building a pc for my partner soon . She has a compaq at the moment with windows 7 and a windows 7 home prem oa key code licence .
I have a copy of window 7 i bought for my pc build can i use my disk but her key code for her new pc build as i think just putting her harddrive in will not work with the new motherboard ie i will have to reinstall windows 7 .

Thanks peeps

well that suck then if it dont work . seems unfair when i bought the compaq with win7 and now i want to put it on another pc and do away with the compaq

Just looked at my copy mine says oem & mines from oc uk . hers says OA on the serial code on the side of her pc. What the diffrence ?

So does it asign its self to one motherboard and thats it . ?

Might use the hard drive out of that machine for the new build . Then get another and give it our kids to trash as long as i can use that key back on that machine would just be a diffrent harddrive

hmmm suppose its possible . But may be worth to give it kids to use for school and get another copy of win 7 for the new build .

Thanks for your help peeps . Now i know the diffrence in them
