| 1295018 | 2012-08-16 01:03:00 | I have a Windows upgrade kit to take an operating system from XP or Vista up to Windows 7 Home Premium. I have used the software recently to put Win 7 onto a laptop and consequently, the serial umber sticker is afixed to the laptop. As I still have the upgrade media, is it possible to legally purchase a Window 7 sticker, as I now need to upgrade a Vista desktop to Windows 7. Would Microsoft sell me the sticker or could I purchase one from a defunct computer ? |

Microsoft Wont sell you another Key, as its been mentioned you'll have to buy another copy. As from a defunct Computer - generally they are OEM which legally means the key dies with the PC - UNLESS its a retail COA, then it can be transfered. |
