[QUOTE="SilverBlade, post: 1094077, member: 61131"] Ok, here's the story.. About a month ago I purchased a pretty high-end customized Windows PC, but it had RAM problems since day 1. I did run the program memtest and found that the memory was bad - the store (who I paid to install the hardware), sold me bad RAM..so, I pushed for an entire refund and I succeeded (amazingly). EXCEPT..my copy of Windows 7 Pro was OEM and was activated on this system before I returned it and got the refund. I am hoping to use it on my newly purchased iMac 27" (My first Mac computer, btw), along with Parallels. Now, since I returned my computer - except for Windows 7, am I able to install/activate Windows 7 on my Mac (and Parallels), without issue since my previous computer was returned? Or do I need to buy retail version? Or would Microsoft allow me to activate Windows 7 if I tell them this too? [/QUOTE]
