Win7 64 Pro move to new build and dual boot

Hi folks

I have a retail license for Win7 Pro x64, currently installed and activated since 2010, updated, etc. I am going to build myself a new PC in the coming months. I will have a new hard drive for the OS (possibly SSD) new motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc. I'll need to keep my existing system running while I get the new one up to speed. The new system will be dual boot - one instance of the Win7 OS is streamlined to do audio recording work, the other everything else. My two-part question is:

 

1. How do I transfer the Win7 Pro x64 retail license from the old to the new PC?

2. Can I use the same license / key to activate both instances of Windows dual-booting on the same (new) PC?

 

Appreciate any advice on how to prepare for and go about doing that

Thanks very much
