Can I install OEM Dell Windows Vista on a different laptop?

[Windows Central Question]

I acquired a Sony Vaio (VGN-AR520e) that will only utilize all it's hardware with Windows Vista. I have a Dell Studio that came with Vista but have since upgraded to 7. Can I install Windows Vista on this Sony using the supplied Dell Windows Vista disk?

Not legally, no. The license for that software is attached to the original PC.
