How Can I Transfer Windows XP to a New Computer? Help Me
My PC at home has just died. I want to purchase a new barebones PC and install my purchased copy of XP on the new PC. I also want to do this for my purchased copy of Office XP. Does Microsoft have a Product Activation policy allowing someone to transfer a copy of XP to another computer? If so, what is the process that I have to go through?
