Vista - Office Home and Student 2007 from Dell to HP

I have a Dell XPS 420 with Mic.Office Home & Student 2007, Vista Ultimate
32bit, wired to a Linksys WRT600N router. The disc I have from Dell says
(OEM). I have been researching for an hour but I can not seem to find a
clear answer. I just ordered a HP dv7t series laptop, they did not have
Ultimate 32bit, so I ordered Home Premium 32bit, with Microsoft Works 9.0.

It is my understanding that I can install this H&S 2007 on my home network
system (desktop & laptop). What is the best way to do this without running
into trouble. Can I just pop the Dell OEM disc into the HP? Should I make a
copy of the disc? Should/Could I backup the program with my data and
transfer it from the desktop to the laptop? What is the best way to go about
this? The laptop will have 2 250gb hdd.and a WIFI5100agn link. Can the
program just be transferred over through the sharing portal?

Also, can I update my Home Premium to Ultimate with the disc I have? Will
this make things more compatible? I don't really know the difference between
the Ultimate and the Home Premium.

I am going to have an operation and be bedbound for a while so I would like
to be ready to get this done as soon as the HP laptop arrives. Thank you in
advance for any assistance.

A Dell OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license for
Microsoft Office can only be installed and activated on the
original Dell computer it came with. You cannot use the license on
a different computer.
