Was that a full Windows installer, or an OEM one that would only work for the model of computer?phenest wrote:I bought a Dell XPS 17 L702X. I then carefully removed the COA label, bundled it with the OS/driver discs, etc, and sold it on eBay for £40 GBP.

Why would you buy a Windows license from anyone who has seen it and had time to take a photo copy of it?
edit - this applies to most (if not all) items which have some code

It's OEM but exactly the same as a Windows Retail with the exception that it has a Dell Product Code included. It can be installed on any make/model, but if it's not a Dell, it will require activation.stevepusser wrote:Was that a full Windows installer, or an OEM one that would only work for the model of computer?phenest wrote:I bought a Dell XPS 17 L702X.
