My sister has a computer with XP Home installed on it and she has
already activated the OS. She is having some problems with other
software on the hard drive, and I suggested we might remove her hard
drive (we live some distance apart) so that I could look at the software
with which she is having problems. Of course I realize that installing
her hard drive in my computer will ask for reactivating due to the
hardware changes detected in my computer. I hope I can resolve her
problems before the grace period for reactivating is up.
My question is this: Once the hard drive is re-installed in her
computer (the one that Windows XP Home was originally loaded on and
activated) will she be asked to reactivate her version of XP Home? Or
will it be happy once the original hardware configuration has been again
detected?
