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.

Nothing is simple with post-sale shrink-wrapped licenses.

OEM versions are tied to the first PC they are installed to.
They are not transferable to another PC at any later date.

That would be the CLAIM I mentioned in my post.


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

MUST! LOL! Reality suggests that your "MUST" is total nonsense.
