Hello both,
I hope you see this! You may remember the following thread from October 2013:
Advice needed about moving subscription to a different PC please
Things didn't happen quite the way I thought they would, but your help and info has been very useful. The XP PC is currently offline, although I may make it dual boot with Ubuntu - the XP bit will be permanently offline though, but there are things on it we want to keep.
We now have another PC with W7 on it and I followed your instructions about getting rid of the licence on XP and activating it on the new W7 PC. I was a bit worried as the new PC has the same computer name as one we already have (I hadn't realised this previously), but it seems OK as far as I can tell, the Product Details on My Account show 3 licences used - 2 with the same name!
Anyway, many thanks for your help, you made it so easy for me and I'm very grateful to both of you. Needless to say, I'll be back in the unlikely event that any problems arise!
Madeline
