I'm building a second computer; so, I will be using my owned and registered
Win XP on it (it is on my old computer now). I want to be legal; I wondered
if when I mount my 'old' home built system except case MB in another case
for emergency replacement, internet, and for games. If I buy a OEM Win XP
version, is there anyway to install it over the other registered version and
still keep all my old programs on the older main hard drive? I want to use
the internet with the second older computer setup, but I don't want MS
knocking on my door with a lawsuit in hand.
Another question---if I bought an OEM version and installed it on a freshly
formatted hard drive, can I still get Windows updates from MS such as hot
fixes for security holes and the SP1, etc.?
Thanks in advance for answering this question.
Sincerely -- Randy O.
