Hey guys,
So I built a custom desktop not too long ago, and I ordered a windows 8.1 OS CD.
So I have a physical copy of the CD. I am now looking into getting a Lenovo Thinkpad and customizing it. Would I be able to wipe windows 7 off of the Thinkpad and install my windows 8.1 CD onto it even though that CD is also being used on my Desktop?
Thanks ahead of time guys!

No not legally, one install is what Retail and OEM are used for unless you unless you have a System Builder Key. If you have the media you can get cheap keys here http://www.windowsonlinestore.com/ or even Ebay. If your a student you have big discount available from Microsoft and multiply other sites here is one. http://onthehub.com/
