Windows 7 and Vista Activation FAQ: how do language, version, 64-bit or 32-bit, and source affect ability to install and transfer Windows licenses?

I bought a HP laptop with Vista Home Premium on it. I was entitled to the Windows 7 upgrade so I sent away for it. I sold my HP laptop and I just received the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD from HP. Can I use the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD (or key that came with it) to install Windows 7 on a NON HP computer?

Thanks.

It's possible/probable that you CAN, but it is also likely a violation of the OEM license agreement.

Yes you can. Now it is a OEM copy. BUT it should work just fine. yet IF you only have a upgrade key then you might have a problem. i would look up something called windows 7 loader. it might help your situation. by the way i have a hp oem windows 7 64 installed on my dell. so have fun!!
