Transferring Windows??
I've currently got a PC, that has windows XP installed on it. I have the installation disks and licence code, and it has been registered with Microsoft.
I'm shortly going to be replacing the computer with a newer one (old one clockwork, and failing rapidly), and I've been offered a replacement at a very good price.
However, the "new" one doesn't have an operating system installed, and I wish to stick to XP, rather than going for Vista.
My question is, is it possible for me to use the installation disk I have for XP to install windows on the replacement computer, and also to register it with Microsoft?
I will be scrapping the old PC, and the hard disc will be getting destroyed, so I will still only be using the licence for one computer, which will be registered in my name.
If I can do this, do I have to inform MS of what I have done.
