Used laptop with windows already installed?

If I buy a used laptop computer that has MS Windows (legal) installed, will I use this operating system legally? Let’s say it’s a laptop computer that was bought in a computer shop and had the OEM version of the OS. It’s very important to me. Thanks in advance.
Food for additional thought, if the original owner used the OS on more than one computer at sometime the system may stop working if you update it or such. Technically you purchased the laptop with a system and have NO reason to think that it is a copied system so I see no problem in using it.

Yes, its "part" of the laptop now

if the laptop came with windows (as it most likely did) it is licensed to that computer so yes, completely legal.
