This question coming from someone who used to work at Microsoft, no less. Anyway, uncle Google, as well as poking around MS's web site, isn't helping me yet.

I've got two HP laptops here at work. I've got my daily driver, and a "test" laptop that's used for software testing. The "test" laptop is similarly spec'd to my daily driver, with a few minor differences. But the test laptop has got better video with more VRAM and a larger display.

Both machines currently run Vista: Daily driver has the HP OEM Vista that came with it, the test machine has a clean install of an MSDN Vista license.

I'm thinking that a simple straight swap of hard disks is in order. Poof, I get better video, test machine still works, don't need to reconfigure or reinstall anything. At most I'd have to install a couple of device drivers on each machine.

Ah, but for the copy protection on Vista.

Anyone know what exactly it'll do to me in this situation and what will be required of me to make sure the two laptops are legal again?
