ACT3 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Not being sure if my HP pc is reaching end of life, I hesitate to install the Windows 7 discs just purchased to replace XP. If the pc fails, and I need to purchase new computer can I install W 7 again on my new machine? Is it one-use only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 If you have bought the Full (Retail) version of Win 7, then you can use it on a later machine.However if you have acquired an OEM version it is intended for use on one machine only.
