Movin XP

[Bob S.]

I had purchased XP Home upgrade.
I installed it on one of my machines.
I needed XP Pro on that machine and purchased and
installed a full version over the old version. I would
like to install the XP home upgrade on another machine.
What is the procedure for registering?

Thanks,
Bob

No problem, since the XP Pro is the full version, this frees up the XP Home
upgrade to use another computer.
You will probably need to make a phone call activation. See the link below.

Sell or transfer XP to new computer.

Correct, you can move the Home edition to another machine but you will be
required to reactivate it via phone as the hardware most likely is not exact
and I imagine you will be doing a clean installation.
