Am I able to sell my used Windows XP?

[April]

My computer recently broke. I had installed XP at the
beginning of last year. I bought a new computer that
has XP already installed. So I am not using my old
version. Am I able to sell my old XP?
I am not sure if I registered it. It is not an OEM. Not
sure if I am in the right newsgroup. I have product key
and packaging

Hi,

Retail version? Doesn't matter if you registered it or not, you can legally
sell it to another party provided you give them the COA and Product Key.
They should be able to install and activate it without issue. You should
provide them with a "bill of sale" should the need to provide proof of hte
transaction.

Yes, if it's not an OEM version, you may sell it without a
problem.

Yes you may. (it is OEM ones, like the new machine's, that may not be
transferred). You must hand on CD, any documents, Certificate of
Authenticity and Product Key. The new owner installs it, and when it
comes to activation, if it is more than 120 days since you last did it,
he will find it will go through on the net just like first time. If
not, he will have to phone a toll-free number that will be given, to
explain and swap one long number for another to check back as he types
it in

He should not bother with 'registration' which is purely for marketing
and registering for two free incidents of product support
