OEM versions are serviced by the OEM, not Microsoft, and most of them will not let you use your OS on a new motherboard (unless you buy it from them, and even then...) If it's a retail version of XP, then you can move it from one computer to another without a problem. -- Tim Slattery http://members.cox.net/slatteryt |

If you replace the whole thing, NO, you can't (by contract) but a generic OEM cd would probably install and activate anyway. Only the motherboard? yes, if you have a generic OEM cd; if your CD is branded (Dell, Acer, Gateway, HP, etc.), you need an identical motherboard because probably the installation is BIOS-locked. If you need to buy a new computer, and you buy a branded PC, it will probably come with Windows7 pre-installed so you will have a new license anyway. |

Does it actually state that you cannot make repairs your hardware? No, it does not. It doesn't even state that you cannot upgrade THAT computer. You may, however, run into a problem if the install media is BIOS locked to a brand and model (and you replace with something different). You don't mention whose OEM version you have. |
