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

I might be wrong but I believe the official view is no. Once an OEM copy
has
been activated on one PC you can't reactivate it on another.

However I believe you get 30 days to activate an installation so you could
always install it for 30 days and then move it to another PC. Just don't
activate it by accident when if prompts you.
