Re activation of Windows Vista

[MGA1]

I have a genuine copy of Windows Vista Business Upgrade. I installed it on my
old PC. I now have a latop with XP. I want to delete the Vista on the old PC
and use the same upgrade and activatioin key on the laptop. Is this possible?

Yes, just remove Windows Vista Business from the old PC, install it on the
new one and call Microsoft to get it reactivated.

Yes as its an Upgrade so you can install it to laptop if you clear it
from old PC (if it has legal XP). Think you will have to call Microsoft
because it will not activate over internet.

Yes.

If it's an upgrade, it's a retail copy and retail copies can be moved
from computer to computer as desired. It's only with OEM copies that
the license prohibits your doing this.
