Question: I just purchased Windows 7. I have 2 PCs. Can I use the one copy of Windows 7 for both my Laptop and Desktop?

Answer: No, you can not use the same Windows 7 product key on more computers than Microsoft License Terms allow.

Usually, you'll need to buy an additional copy of the Windows 7 to install Windows 7 on your Laptop or Desktop computer.
