Restoring image to 2nd identical PC and activating WIndows
Hello, all
I got my wife a Dell Inspiron 7000 PC for christmas which is the same model laptop I have. I have a fresh image I created from my laptop which is stored on my network server (without bloat, settings the way I like them ect...). Can I reimage her PC with this image and have Windows still be activated? I know the key is in the BIOS so I'm wondering if Windows will see this key after I perform the reimage and still be activated but with her key instead of mine.
The installation on my PC was installed from the MS website using a USB drive (not from the Dell site if that matters).
Thank you!

Thanks for the response!
Yes is has been activated and I believe it is the same version. I'll give it a shot come Christmas time (it's wrapped up now).
Thanks again!
