the Windows version was updated

I have windows vista Home premium that came with my Vaio. I need to upgrade to windows 8.

My question is if I can update my windows and use it on another PC and scrap this laptop... as long as it does not match the configuration system requirements.

Hello

Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

OEM licenses are not transferable.

If you had bought your own license for sale at retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

Retail licenses are transferable.

See you soon.
