"Transferring Desktop Operating System Licences on Pre-installed =20
Software
Desktop Operating System software (such as Windows Vista and XP) that =20=

is pre-installed on PCs cannot be transferred; which means it lives =20
and dies with the =91machine=92 it was installed on, unless repaired =
under =20
warranty. We define the =91machine=92 as the motherboard."



which means that your OEM licence, probably illegally purchased cannot =20=

be transferred to another machine, an upgraded machine or a repaired =20
machine if that repair means a new motherboard.
