    1. Yes, you can I have done this with my ASUS laptop when I stuffed up the operating system and the system backup dvds I have created would not work.

    2. Not sure about this question! Why not try it and see if it works?

    if its an oem key you can activate it on a different pc, however it will not automatically activate. You have to use the 800 number.

    Technically, OEM licenses are not supposed to be transferred to another system. However, since the preinstalled OS uses a pre-activated version of Windows, the product key that you find on the sticker is never used for activation ---> therefore, you can use it to activate another system.
