Hi guys
If i buy a microsoft OEM version of XP Home ,can i transfer it from =
one pc=20
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=20
to build a new pc.
So can we transfer the oem copy to the new home built pc.She has home =
built=20
pc now,wants a bigger one.
Thanks
=20
--=20

It will be technically possible to install your OEM version of Windows =
XP on your daughters next computer, but it is not permitted by the EULA. =
It would be like continuing to use an unlicensed version of Winzip =
beyond the trial period or using the free edition of Avast Antivirus in =
a corporate environment; possible, but not permissible.

However, the story is entirely different with your Upgrade version, =
which is transferrable to the new machine.
