Hi,

I want to know more about the step of using sysprep utility. Or How can I
clone the system to the new pc ?

Thanks

If Windows XP is not the hard drive you are moving then there is no need to
clone.

If your XP is OEM you cannot use the XP license on your new computer.

You might need to run a repair install though if windows has problems.
