Yes, you can use the disk to install windows. You cannot, however, use the same license key.

Alfrodo :

So would I need to buy another OS because I can't use the disk's license key?

Malek Agha :

Yep. The exception would be if you have a business (volume) version that allows for installs on multiple devices.

For 2 dollars more may I suggest going with this ram. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f314900cl9d8gbsr These are cas9 instead of cas10 and they will be in dual channel so everything will he a little faster.

As Alfrodo said you will need to get a new license key for your computer. I just always make it a rule of thumb that if you build a new computer you need to get a new copy of the OS. (windows 7 that is)

Hi

While you could use the disk to do the installation
You will still need to buy a licence and key to activate the windows other wise in 30 day trial mode

One Windows licence And key for each PC

A long time ago there were family upgrade packs (for 3 pcs)
But these needed an earlier version XP or Vista already installed
