Hi all,
i brought a desktop PC from a company on eBay and it had no operating system on it so i went out and brought windows 7 home myself.

my question is, when i sell my desktop PC, do i wipe my system clean and then re install my windows 7 for the buyer,
or as i brought windows 7 myself and the reg code is registered to me, do i not include an operating system when i sell it?

whats best to do?

If the Windows 7 you bought was the OEM version, you have no option but to sell the PC with the OS- it's no use to you without the original motherboard.

If it was the Full Retail license edition you bought, then you have the option to do either - make sure that you include the disks and the proof of license in the package if you opt to sell it.
Remember that the Win7Full Retail is a rarity nowadays - and may fetch a high price on its own!

As said above, OEM is tied to your system, and you technically need to sell it.
