Hi guys, kinda need some help here. Long story short, I've a 1
year old Dell Laptop and it originally came with Windows Vista
Basic. About 6 months ago, I bought an original Windows Vista Home
Premium CD (OEM version) from Sim Lim and installed into my 1 year
old Dell Laptop. Works like a charm till now.
Now I'm selling my 1 year old Dell Laptop to my uncle who says
he is ok to use Windows Vista Home Basic
The question is, I've installed the original
Windows Vista Home Premium into my 1 year old Dell Laptop
previously. Can I reformat my 1 year old Dell Laptop; Restore it
back to factory settings (Windows Vista Home Basic) and sell the
original Windows Vista Home Premium CD to my friend?
Thanks.
Any constructive comments will be greatly appreciated.
OEM copies of Windows are tied to a computer. The licence has
been registered under that laptop. You can try calling Microsoft,
who may reset the activation key for use on another PC.
