hi.
my current pc came with windows 98. when i decided to upgrade to xp i bought
a full cd of windows xp professional (service pack 1) from a local vendor.
the time has come to buy a new pc but i want to convert my current pc to
linux and install xp on the new machine. (this is all for home use by the
way).
can i use the cd i have to install on the new machine once i've formatted
and linuxed my old machine? they would be no period of overlap where xp was
on both machines. will the original key for the cd work? if not, how do i go
about getting a new key?
many thanks
