Windows 8 transfer.. I know its been asked before but im confused

[enigma27]

Hi All.

I currently have windows 8 on my net top PC which was bought as part of the upgrade program when windows 8 released.

My net top has since died so I have a windows 8 pro key not being used and the windows 8 ISO on a usb key.

Can I use this key to upgrade my wife's Windows 7 laptop? I will only be doing an upgrade not a fresh install.

Yes, that's fine since you're not running it on your netbook anymore.

Cool thanks.

Am i guessing I will have to phone activate it?

It's a possible outcome but not necessarily.
