For Sale: Vista Home

I bought Vista Home Premium and loaded it on a new hard drive. What I
failed to notice is Remote Desktop is not a feature of Home Premium. I need
that feature which comes on Business and Ultimate editions. My Home edition
is activated. Can I sell hard drive and all and be OK or will the software
see it is on a different motherboard and squawk?

Thanks,

Hi Fred,

Why don't you upgrade your Vista Home Premium to the business or ultimate
edition?

I'd say Windows would have to be reactivated in a new hardware
environment....however it's not a retail version then there might be some
legal issues with your idea of selling the harddisk with the Windows on it.

Thank you Michael. I don't think Ultimate has a upgrade path. I would not
think there would be legal issues if I sold it with CD, Key, carrying case
and all. It's not like I'm making a profit. Thanks for your thoughts.
