We have done a number of them since almost everytime we have to reactivate Windows anyway since the HW changed enough. Sometimes it doesn't, but we are just able to enter their new VL code and away it rolls. I know it shouldn't work that way, but I have done three or 4 now this way and it does. If you can purchase a VL version you can try it, wont hurt. But you cannot move OEM licenses.

Anyone got any idea how to work around this? Microsoft has been no help. They just give me another number of somebody who doesn't speak English. Luke L.
