Hello guys i have come across a problem
I have purchased DELL XPS 15 laptop. With that i got win7 home basic CD.
I have win7 Ultimate original CD that i have purchased for my Desktop.

keep the serial key of it in safe place & never share it with any.

BEfore updating make sure your laptop has drivers for windows 7 - download them before installing win 7

If you have already activated W7 Ultimate on desktop, you may face some difficulty in activating on laptop. From a few threads I saw (somewhere else), MS has some way to record the PC config and when you try the same key in another machine, you need to confirm and all it seems.

yeah i have activated that CD key in my desktop so i talked with those microsoft guys they said to send the laptop n desktop papers..

also before wiping out the original os remember to create the recovery disks in case u don't have any
