Can I install this Windows 7 Pro on more than 3 Pcs ?

I'd guess that you can. (So far, I've only needed to do one each with each kit (32-bit and 64-bit). I cannot say whether or not you may (i.e., whether there are licensing restrictions). My PCs are for my personal use. I'm less concerned than if I were using them commercially.

The OEM (system builder) edition allows for one installation only activated by Microsoft. Installing the OEM on multiple computers will cause the authentication process to fail and you'll have an unlicensed version of windows on 4 of your 5 computers! If you need to install windows 7 pro on more, you need to purchase the retail version of windows, which will allow you to install the same license key onto up to 5 machines.

It comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed, but you can upgrade it to Windows 8 Pro via its disc.

I have it installed on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine and it's worked fine with no conflicts. Installed easily. No complaints so far and it's been in for some time.

Hi, If your PC falls within the system's requirments of Windows 7 pro, then you may have to do a clean install of this OS.Thanks, PCrush

Sure. You would just have three licenses. One for each computer instead of one license shared by all three.

You can activate the program on up to 3 personal computers. You have the ability to either run from the disc, or install to hard drive.

Three at any one time as I recall, but you should only be using one of the installations at any given time. I have it on my laptop and desktop.

Yes silly.... and it will be good for 3 computers....if that is the Version you buy.

Yes with no problems. There are three licenses with the enterprise version so you can use on three family or friends computers.

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

No you cannot, the installation requires the product key to be entered if you try to install on a second PC it will fail to activate.

I've got it hooked up to a PC under Windows 7 Home Premium, and it works fine. Since all Windows 7 versions are based on the same core, I don't think there would be any problem with Windows 7 Professional.

I have Windows 7 professional on mine. I may have paid extra to have professional vs. home.

As long as it is 5.25 inch, yes you can. You can install up to 3 of those drives. You can also install your OS using a USB drive.

No you cannot. You must have one unique (paid for) Product Key for each machine you want to install Windows 7 on. The System Builder DVD gives you one product key good for one machine only. You can buy additional licenses, however. I don't know the details of how to use or take advantage of Microsoft's "Volume Licensing". I don't install Microsoft Operating Systems in large enough volume to justify the cost of a volume license. However the idea is you get one product key per machine -- something like that. What you can be sure of is that if you install a Microsoft Operating System from a DVD, be prepared to type in a unique, paid-for product key for each machine you install on. You can browse http://www.microsoft.com/oem to get more information about their System Builder program, including the licensing.
