I just bought a new computer which, unfortunately, comes
with XP Home. I want to use the cd from my old computer --
XP Pro. Can I get a new certification number from
Microsoft or do I have do buy a whole new upgrade since
I'm replacing an old computer?
 
If you have a "Retail Version" of Windows XP Pro,
you can purchase a new Product Key for the second
installation. If you have an "OEM Version", then you
cannot purchase another Product Key.
