Problem

I would like to know if it is legal to use the same Windows 7 Home Premium license key on my laptop and on my desktop? Someone told me that I could because MS allows you to use the same key on a laptop and a desktop. I have searched but cannot seem to find an answer that satisfies me. Thoughts?

Low Risk

I tried to do it and it fails when you install on the 2nd box. I think "Activation" is there for that purpose. However you can purchase a family pack that can be used to upgrade up to 3 computers in the same household:
