Hi Folks,

I bought a laptop a wee while back, its a Packard Bell BG45-U300. By default it has Windows Vista Home Basic installed and a load of other software. Most I don't use, but one I do is a full copy of Photoshop Elements 6.

I have preordered Windows 7 Home Premium for my desktop and this laptop. I plan on doing a clean install or at least an upgrade. From what I can gather, Win7 with archive off my old install if I upgrade.

So a few questions.

I am legally able to move reinstall just Photoshop or is it all encompassed by the whole Windows OEM install.

Can I do it? if so what are my options? Is there a way to extract the serial number and reinstall from a trial? or would registering with Adobe my purchase facilitate this?
