Hey everyone! I have a quick question. My old PC stopped working, so I'm fixing it now and need to reinstall Windows. I'm wondering if I can use the Windows from another machine and transfer it back to my fixed PC. The new machine I'm using doesn't have an operating system yet, and I want to move the data from the replacement machine. Can I do that? Thanks in advance!

You possess the original disc and key. Alternatively, you might generate an ISO from your present system and boot from it, though that isn't advised. There are no other viable choices besides using piracy.
