Can I transfer my Windows 7 OEM license to another computer?
Software licensing agreements have been generally held, at least in the USA, to be legally binding; the OEM license of Windows 7 specifically states that it cannot be transferred to another computer, and defines a different motherboard as a different computer, ergo, by definition, what you are doing is illegal.
How do I transfer OEM Windows to another computer?
Only personal-use OEM licenses purchased separately from a computer can be transferred to a new system.

- Install Windows on the second system, entering the original license key when prompted.
