If he upgrades his present computer, it doesn't matter. Keep the case,
for example. Or the floppy drive. Not sure the mouse would be enough,
though <eg>

When prompted to phone activate, say, I upgraded my computer and
reinstalled Vista. What you did to upgrade your computer is none of MS'
business.

Now, if the OP plans to keep both computers running, it does make a
difference and only a Retail copy may be moved and phone activated. The
old computer should have its copy of Vista removed.
