Hi guys
If i buy a microsoft OEM version of XP Home ,can i transfer it from one pc
to another like i would be able to do with a upgrade copy.
I want to install xp on my daughters pc now but in the near future she
wants to build a new pc.
So can we transfer the oem copy to the new home built pc.She has home
built pc now,wants a bigger one.
Thanks


Simply No.
OEM versions are tied to the first PC they are installed to.
They are not transferable to another PC at any later date.

If you wish to be able to transfer the license to another PC you must
purchase the full Retail version.
