What is the risk of installing Windows 7 on 4 different PC's with the same product key?
How will Microsoft know if they ever will

Via phone. You read a long string of digits into the phone, and it reads a long string back. If all checks, that PC is activated.

One license, one PC.
Play by the rules and you should be OK. You agreed to EULA terms when you installed Win7 on one machine, same terms apply every time you do that. There are educational licenses that allow for more than one machine at a time. Don't expect advice on how to break these rules on this forum.
