Re: installing vista on a replacement PC

If you purchase the full retail version, yes, you can move it to your new
system.

If you purchase the upgrade version and it's used to upgrade a full version,
yes, you can move it to your new system.

If you purchase the upgrade version and it's used to upgrade an OEM version,
then I don't think you can move it but don't trust me on this scenario.

If you purchase the OEM version, no you can't move it.
