Can I use the product key from a dysfunctional win 7 computer to a reconditioned system. I have a win 7 upgrade CD to use. Thanks for any info. My first post ever.
Rerun
Was this preinstalled on the now dysfunctional PC?
If so, that license is tied to the original motherboard. You may be able to get that license reactivated on a new PC, but Microsoft is under no obligation to authorize that.
As long as the key isn't being used on both systems, if it's just a single system then using the key should be fine. The disc isn't attached to the key.
