Vista upgrades

[Paultx]

I bought this notebook with Windows Vista Home Basic (OEM) installed.
Then I bought a new desktop PC and a full retail version of Windows Vista
Home Premium.

Am I allowed to do a clean installation of the full WVHP on the new desktop
AND on the notebook as an upgrade?

Nope. Neither version can be installed anywhere else.

The notebook stays with what it has until you purchase an upgrade.

No. You'll need to purchase an additional upgrade license if you
wish to upgrade your notebook. See the following:

You should read EULA.txt to be sure, but that is usually 'one product key,
one machine at a time'

Retail Vista can go anywhere, on any 1 PC at a time.

What sort of useless ****er are you?

Lunch was nice; Wracked up discarded douchebags under offensive bed bug
abdomen smothered in beat-up tick bowel, cooked in a turbid bucket
overflowing with medium to well done endive, minced morsels of eel,
unidentified wriggly things and venison, bone marrow gravy, a side of
newt mammary gland and a gallon of coagulated white blood cells.
