Thread: Using Dell Windows 7 DVD on other PC

I want to use my dell windows 7 64 reinstallation DVD on new built I am working now? Please help me to solve this problem.

You can use the Dell DVD on any PC, but if it doesn't detect the correct Dell BIOS info when installing, it will prompt for a CD key and require activation.

If it works and installs, you should not have a problem popping in a key and activating. I was under the impression they were BIOS-locked, so if it didn't detect a Dell BIOS, it wouldn't start. I was under the impression they were BIOS-locked, so if it did not detect a Dell BIOS, it would not start.
