Can I move an activated version of XP to another computer.

[Guest]

I have XP Home installed on my computer. I want to move this to my wife's
computer and install XP Pro on mine. Can I uninstall my XP Home and
re-activate on her computer?

Only if both versions of Windows XP are
"Retail Full Versions". If you have an
OEM version, it is non-transferable to
a different computer.

Thanks. I was afraid of that - they are both OEM.

How do I deactivate, move to another computer or sell a previously activated
XP?
