How do I remove the OS from my old computer to put it into my new computer?

Solution


All depends on the specific license.
With an OEM (preinstalled) PC, that license is tied to that original motherboard.
And it differs slightly between Windows 7 & Windows 8.

If it is a Retail license, then you can reinstall that on new hardware.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as, USAFRet mentioned, if it's windows don't they limit your windows installation uses?
As in if you use the reg key on one pc then try to do it on another doesn't it say it's already used?
