Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to uninstall Windows 8 from my laptop and re install it using my key onto a desktop? I know this won't work with Windows 7, but I heard it might be different with Windows 8. I've chosen parts for a desktop I plan on building, and I really don't want to have to add ~$100 for a copy of Windows. Any help is appreciated.

You can move non OEM versions of Windows to any PC you want as long as you are only using each single copy once or per your windows licensing agreement.

The license to Windows on your laptop is most likely OEM and as such can only be used on the laptop, same as with the license it sounds you would consider buying.
