xp moved to p4 mother board from p3 motherboard ok or not $

Will Bill Gates let me install xp again when I upgrade to a p4
motherboard with new memory and hard drive in the same old case?

thanks

As long as it is only installed on one computer, nothing needs to be
said other than it was uninstalled from one computer and installed on
another or the hardware was upgraded on the same computer. You do not
need to or have to provide more information.

ACTIVATION


What happens when you change a motherboard or move a hard drive
depends on the accumulated changes made within a 120 day period since
initial activation. As a precaution the windows\system32\WPA.DBL and
WPA.DBL should be copied to a floppy before doing a repair install. For
more information see Alex Nichol's article on XP activation.

It also depends on the version of Windows XP intended for the move.

Retail versions of XP

Retail versions of XP can be moved from and reinstalled as many times
as you want as long as it is in compliance with the EULA. The EULA
states: You may install, use, access, display and run one copy of the
Software on a single computer, such as a workstation, terminal or other
device ("Workstation Computer")

OEM versions of XP
