So in December for Christmas I got Minecraft for my computer. My computer is Dell, a old one (probably five years) from my dad since we couldn't afford a new one. Now I have enough money to buy a new computer, but will I have to buy Minecraft again? Can I uninstall it from one computer and reinstall it into another? And if I can, how?

If you don't want to lose your worlds then you can put .minecraft on a flash drive and put in in the new computer and replace it with the new .minecraft.
Once you buy Minecraft with an username of your choice, the account is yours forever. All you need to do is redownload it on your new computer, log-in into your account and let it install itself. On the other hand, if you want to keep your save, just go into %Appdata%. That's where .Minecraft is located, you can access that by going into the game, clicking "Resource pack" and press the Folder button.
It will not be the original anymore atleast thats what i know so beter dont copy it first buy the computer and then buy the minecraft.Hope this helps
What are you talking about ? Of course it will still be original. He just needs to log in with his account again.
And please, don't use that cyan color. It makes it really hard to read.

Being a nerd is nothing to be ashamed of. Nerds rule the world! Who invented the internet? Nerds. Who created personal computers and smart phones? Nerds. Who made every video game you've ever played and ever will? Still nerds. Who sent probes to distant planets? Nerds, nerds and more nerds! I'm a nerd and I'm proud.
As many people have said, you only need to purchase Minecraft once, since what you're buying is basically an account, not the actual code. As an example, I have it installed on three computers at the moment (two Windows, one OS X), mostly for testing purposes since this one is too old/slow to run MC well and I don't use the OS X machine much, but installing it was just a matter of going to Mojang's website, logging in, and downloading to the relevant computer.
However, if you've been playing a SSP world, you need to move your save files to the new computer. If you're backing up your saves (and if you're not, you should be; glitches happen) just either send the save file over your network to the new computer, or copy it onto your medium of choice (flash drive, etc.) and sneakernet it. Otherwise, since saves are stored locally, you'd only be able to start a whole new world, rather than picking up where you left off.
