Scenario: An Englishman leaves the UK to take up residence in Spain but
cannot speak the language. Buying a new pc from the local store he now has
Windows XP OEM or Retail in Spanish.
I 'm planning to start a pc repair service in the near future and this
scenario will be common. I know I will be visiting machines that have a copy
or corporate version installed by a 'friend of a friend', along with the
people that have been forced to buy an English version. If I were to buy an
English version of their original OS and install it, would the Spanish
Product Key work and would that be legal seeing as the Spanish version will
never be used. If this is possible then will I need to buy separate versions
for Windows XP Home & Pro, Retail and OEM. Obviously in mind is that I could
then use those cd's over and over again. Thanks.
