That's the point I'm making. I'm buying a windows licence I'll never use.
Use it on another computer?
It's going to be an OEM licence, so officially it'll be locked to that one motherboard.
I've used OEM liscencing on other computers before
You can use them, but I don't think you are suppose to
I have my 6th form's dreamspark keys and my university's dreamspark keys, so I don't really need to pay for an OEM key too.

Take key from Windows liscencing tab sticker thing, put into Windows activation on another computer.
Well, my laptop troubles are over! Or at least, they will be after 5-7 business days... After five years with the craptop, I'm finally replacing it.

Specs that I got:
CPU: Core i5-4200M
GPU: Intel HD4600
Ram: 4GB DDR3L (I'll probably add more later)
Storage: 500GB 7200RPM HDD (probably plop in an SSD later)

Purchase Price: $540

While this ThinkPad may not be able to fit into a manilla envelope or have all day battery life, it has parts that would cost three times as much in an ultrabook, giving it enough horsepower to last a nice loooong time! And unlike the craptop, it won't be a dud from day one and suck the whole time I have it.

The craptop is still around (as long as the fan holds up between now and when the new one gets here) for hilarious dolphin testing. Big Grin The worst computer with full Dolphin capability is alive and groaning yet!
