Can I use my Windows 7 key refuse on a new computer
After 4 years on a new laptop with Windows XP preinstalled, it was able to live usage conditions useage, being that student on a level 3 course HE computer is an essential tool.
When Windows 7 is released, I don't a not jump directly into it as Windows XP always lived to its needs, but a few months after Windows 7 was released, it was time to update in order to track performance and safety more with Windows 7, offering more features that it was difficult not to be upgraded. So I got out a got a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit and 64-bit). After that installation of the difference was clear, it was worth the investment.
Recently, this computer gave up finally to go and has since been replaced by a custom built Tower currently using Windows XP Professional SP3 but it simply not the same thing, because once you upgrade to 7 you never want to go back and still currently the object of a student full time I could opt to buy a 2nd key at the student rate, but why give up what works already?
More to the point it will be possible to use the same product key to activate Windows 7 even on the new computer? I understand also manual activation may be required.

I want to reformat my mac with bootcamp and I want to reinstall windows. can I use the same cd key and product? or do I have to do something with the current activation? Windows will recognize that it is the same computer after I repartition it?
I want to reformat my mac with bootcamp and I want to reinstall windows. can I use the same cd key and product? or do I have to do something with the current activation? Windows will recognize that it is the same computer after I repartition it?
If it worked the first time, there is no reason that it will not work the second time on the same computer, as long as the Windows 7 is a full version.
If this is an upgrade version, you must have the qualifying OS installed and enabled before you upgrade and it will work.

I have a valid Windows 7 Professional installation as well as a copy of VMWare Workstation running on Windows 7. I would like to install a VM Windows 7 that I can "break" without worrying about my host system. Can I use the same product key for the virtual machine that I currently use on the host system, or do I have to buy a different product key for the virtual machine?
Thank you!
No, you will need to purchase an additional license. The virtual machine is considered to be a separate computer.
