Hi,
I have a neghbourhood-assembled PC in which they installed bootlegged Windows 7 copy. I later availed the Windows Genuine Advantage offer on a Windows 7 Ultimate copy. Per the licence, the licence is valid for only that computer on which the activation failed (my above mentioned PC).
Now, I plan to buy Windows 8 Pro tomorrow and install it over the WGA Windows 7. Also, since my above-mentioned PC is now 3 years old, I plan to build a new one myself in a few months.
My question is: Can I legally re-install Windows 8 on that new PC? I have this question because I read somewhere that an upgrade licence assumes all the conditions of the OS that was upgraded.
Please help me understand this. Sorry for my English, if it is confusing; it's not my first language.
