Alright, so i am building a PC for my brother, and currently i have Vista Home Prem. installed on my PC. and i wish to give him that and buy myself Vista Business Edition (in order to get Win. 7 Pro). Is it possible for me to give him my serial code? will there be any issues?

Yes, but worst comes to worst you have to get a new key from MS, it's free. I've had a few harddrive failures etc. and that's what I had to do. irritating but you'll live
