According to Microsoft, since you've installed them on a machine already, they CANNOT be sold.

Quote:
Another common misconception is that you can transfer a preinstalled or OEM copy of Windows from an "old" machine to a new machine. An OEM software license may not be transferred from and old machine to a new machine—even if that machine is no longer in use. The OEM license is tied to the machine on which it was originally installed and can't be transferred to other machines. Please advise your customers of this licensing rule. If they request a "naked" PC and are planning to transfer an old OEM operating system license to the new machine—they will not have a legal license to run Windows on this new machine.

In order to sell them, you're gonna have to throw in some hardware.

Okay, no problem.

With each item, I will include a piece of hardware. It will be product branded and have a part number on it.

Is that okay EvilRick?

Hi Steve,

While the branding is Dell, the CDs WILL work with any other system (please notice in my original post that I GUARANTEE it). I think you may be referring to the Dell Restore CDs, which these are not.

I've personally been able to install to a Fujitsu Laptop, IBM Thinkpad, Toshiba Laptop, as well as a self-built PC with an MSI Motherboard.

Thanks and if there's any other questions, please feel free to ask.
