It is possible, but you would actually be breaking the Windows license agreement by doing so.
Microsoft's stand on an OEM license is "the OEM license lives and dies with the machine, it is NOT transferrable" - MS have been bombarding IT departments recently with a blue oblong "postcard from the edge" - with licensing details, to try to clarify situations like this.
But who's going to worry about it?
