I purchased and installed windows xp on my pc. Can I also
install this same xp upgrade on my laptop. Does microsoft
allow xp to be istalled more then once by the original
purchaser.

Windows XP requires a separate license (Product Key) for each
installation on a different computer. Otherwise, Product Activation
will fail on the second computer installation. So, you need to purchase
a new license (Product Key) for another installation.

Read your Windows XP End-User License Agreement:

Start > Run and type: WINVER , and hit enter.

It clearly states that you may only install one (1) copy
of Windows XP on just one (1) computer. You will
need a new license (Product Key) for each new
installation on a different computer.

Also, open XP's "Help and Support" and type: EULA
and click on "Questions and Answers about the
End User License Agreement".

Nope. One License..One Machine. The same rules that have applied
since Adam gave up Apples for PC's
