Ever since Windows XP I’ve bought OEM, I bought Vista Ultimate OEM and recently I bought Windows 7 Professionaly OEM.
Now, since I’m using Win7 on my PC and my parents’ laptop is in for repairs, I was planning on doing a clean install of my OEM copy of Vista on their laptop, when they get it back.
Can I do this, I know that there’s no difference on a technical level between the retail and OEM versions, and I don’t care for the legal mumbo jumbo between those versions. But since I’ve already had Vista installed and activated on my PC before, can I still activate it on my parents’ laptop?
I’ve read that there are some restrictions with reinstalling/activating OEM Windows on a different PC, is this true or can I just go ahead and install it on their laptop?
