    Yes you have to buy a new copy for your pc as the license is tied to your laptop.

    It is unless you have the retail copy which gives you 3 Keys IIRC

    No, you don't, not with standard retail or OEM.

    There is a specific Family Pack, which is more expensive but a lot less than three copies, and that allows for it to be installed on three machines in one household.
