    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    As long as you're keeping the computer that's fine, but you legally cannot resell a machine that has had the operating system loaded from anything other than the factory supplied media (Either recovery partition or DVD). I don't think that will matter with the OP here, but still....

    The legality of selling it has nothing to do with how the OS is loaded. The stipulation is that unless you re-install onto the original hard drive, you must buy a new Windows key. You also have to provide the buyer with either an OEM install disc, or a recovery partition on the hard drive.
