Can I transfer a license OEM Windows 7 computer laptop with a physical disability and is not repairable?

I have a laptop that has Windows 7 OEM Home. The laptop had a hardware failure and is not repairable. Can I transfer the operating system of a new generation of computer laptop?

Sorry, but a Windows 7 OEM is not transferable to another PC because it is related to the 1st computer on which it is installed.

Here is the current information System Builders/OEMS 'use' of Microsoft

The great Goodby:
Your motherboard breaks down, unless the replacement card is the same your OEM version will no longer turn on and can not be moved or transferred to another computer.

OEM of Windows 7 versions have the following limitations of 'important ':

(1) OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

(2) OEM licenses are tied to the computer 1 you install and activate it on.

(3) you cannot reuse/reinstall an OEM version on another computer or another/replacement motherboard.

(4) the OEM versions cannot be used to upgrade an earlier version of Windows, you must perform a
Clean install (this means that your data is saved and the application must be reinstalled).

    Can move you to a new Windows 7 computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own qualification license XP/Vista/7). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

    You don't say where you got the OEM Windows 7 license of.

    If you got it from another computer, the answer is no.

    If you bought from Microsoft, you can.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
