Is it legal for me to do this with PCs?

I'd like to play on my new Elder Scrolls Anthology videogame series, but I don't have a good laptop yet. I plan to buy one at a base price of $1300 (Dell Alienware), but I don't have enough money to buy it yet.

I was wondering, is it legal to play on it on my sister's laptop for now, then once I earn enough to buy my own laptop, then would I be able to switch it to the new one and continue playing on there? IF it IS legal, then how can I do that?

If it's not legal, then I'll just force myself to be patient. :) Any help is appreciated!

    Well...

    I'm fairly certain you can copy your saved games over. You'll want to find out where those are saved.

    You can't have it installed on both computers, though.

    Install it on your sister's. Play it there until you get your new one. Copy your saved games to some external source such as a USB.

    Install it on your NEW laptop. Copy your saved games over to the correct directory on your new laptop.

    That might work? I'm not sure.

    LOL don't listen to these other people. If you bought the game ( a legal copy, not downloaded) you can install that game on as many computers you want as long as there your computers. You can't however go and install the game on a friends computer since they don't own the "original copy" but since you do, you can install the game on all computers in your home. The game will just ask for you to insert the original CD to verify you do own an original copy ;) ENJOY!
