You are confusing registration with activation. Registration is always
optional - never necessary. Activation is mandatory and always
necessary. Your brother does not need to register the operating system
with Microsoft so there is no unregistration procedure. He will need to
activate the system after he installs it and there will be no problem
doing so.
