Alright, so I am about to build a new computer of mine for the first time but I don't want to buy a copy of windows 7 so I was wondering since I have 2 other computers with it already..

Can I Use the same product key that is on one of the computers for mine at the same time and it will not damage anything..

I might need to mention that the computers that I already have were bought from a store like hp if that helps.
 
Solution
No. A product key can only be used on one computer at a time. For OEM licenses (like the HP), it cannot be moved to another PC at all.

Buy a new copy, decommission a PC with a retail license, or use a free OS.
