If i buy a new PC, can i (legally) use my exhisting copy of Windows? I looked at the EULA and it says that you can transfer a license, but you need to completely remove Windows from your old computer. How would they know if I have done that? Has anyone else ever used their old windows software on a new PC?

You can have it on 5 computers in your house and they wouldent do nothing. Go ahead, no harm.

you can have it on as many computers as you want, but you still *should* activate it.

I've used it many times, the first one I activated it normally and on the other ones I cracked it hehe. I've had no problems with them...

If your current version of Windows XP came with an EOM computer, then there's probably something linking it to the motherboard, so putting it on a new computer wouldn't work very well. Otherwise, there's should be no problem.

id reccomend getting a copy of Windows XP corporate, no activation bullshit, if you have an ilegitimate serial, you can get programs from various places *cough* imesh *cough* that will allow you to change it to a legitimate key and thus giving you the ability to do windows updates with no problems.
Most oem computers have a tailored windows install disc that will not work on a computer unless it is one of thiers, so better get downloading Very Happy
