My wife's new Win 7 64 bit laptop came with a Win 8 Pro upgrade offer which has been taken up/ successfully installed and we also bought the backup DVD media.
Firstly, I have to upgrade the mobo/processor on on my Win 7 64 bit desktop pc to make it Win 8 compatible.
Can I use that same DVD media with another, to be purchased, product key (Win 8 Pro) to then do a clean install of Win 8 Pro on my enhanced PC, or is it necessary to actually d/load the software again.
Kindly advise. Thanks
Pedro
