(sarcasm) if you attempt to remove the label so it can be stuck somewhere that is more convenient , it will disintegrate and you will be left with no proof its a legal copy of windows even if you do care which I am sure most people don't. its worse on a laptop, having to flip the thing 180 degrees over, to read it, then back to type it in. most irritating, hence I a) avoid reinstalling unless I really have to, and b) prefer Linux to all that license key nonsense.
