No, the discs received will ONLY work with that specific system model. Trying to install it on some other system would lead to a large number of technical problems, as well as being a violation of the EULA.
A friend of mine purchased a laptop with Vista installed. At the time, he was eligible for getting the free upgrade to Win 7 by just paying the shipping charges.
He now has the Win 7 disks but has not yet installed it. He is thinking of installing the win 7 OS (which again has never been used yet) onto his desktop which is running WinXP. Is this doable, or would he be breaking some MS law.
