A PS to my last re. dual booting.

Will my existing (old) Windows 7 work on the new computer? I was under the impression that if you tried to use an existing activated copy of Windows on a new computer, it would throw up a 'wobbly' as the original Win 7 was 'locked' to the processor or motherboard of the original computer; use it on a new computer and Microsoft would identify you as trying to use a single copy of Windows on two computers which isn't allowed under the terms of the licence.

Expert opinions please.
