Can anyone answer this question for me?
I'm currently testing the Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation version on a old HP TX2000 laptop. I'm having some problems because I can't get proper driver support for the Nvidia chipset (I used a modified INF with the most current, but still ancient, driver from laptopvideo2go). I'm also having difficulty installing Windows 8 with my Intel SSD (but works perfectly for my standard hard drive).
I'd like to get Windows 8 for the laptop because I'm still enjoying the experience. But if I see the same problems with the retail edition, I'd like to instead use Windows 8 on a different PC and revert back to Windows 7 for the old laptop.
Now for the licensing question... Can I install the Windows 8 Pro edition on another PC? Especially if I delete it off the old laptop? I don't remember how licensing works exactly. I know it's tied somewhat to the hardware being installed on. So I was afraid if I first install on the laptop and it's not a success, that I can't use it on my desktop PC.
