could anyone tell me if it would be possible to sell my copy of windows vista upgrade to a freind. I want to get a full version so i can dual boot, but i don't know if my freind would have any trouble with the validation. I have already removed it from my computer but as i say i don't know the in's and outs of it.
please help
