Guest Bob Hardy Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I have windows xp home edition oem software running on my present system, however I have built a new system and I want to use my home edition software on the new pc. Is this allowed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Short answer - No (not if it is an OEM version). It'll install OK, but it won't let you activate that product key on two different machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike567 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm sure it will, a couple of my friends are running a Dell OEM disk on a couple of their pc's.But its not legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Try it and see, as Mike says it is not legal, but if you have not installed the OS within the last 3 months you might get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
