About this tag
The tag 'full box' refers to full-box retail licenses for Windows, as opposed to OEM licenses. In discussions on WindowsForum.com, users ask about license transfer rights when upgrading from a full-box retail Windows 7 to a full-box retail Windows 8. The key question is whether the original Windows 7 license becomes available for reuse on another system after the upgrade. This tag is relevant for understanding Microsoft's licensing policies for retail versions of Windows, particularly regarding activation and transferability between computers.
