Hey guys...

I've got a full, legal copy of WinXP Pro on my computer...and I'm building another computer for my wife. Can I use the same WinXP disc to load windows on her computer? Or do I need to forfeit the cash and buy another copy?

Thanks in advance!

Same disc yes, but you need a different product key.

Unfortunately, you'll have to buy another WinXP. Just go for Home though and save a few bucks.

I haven't looked into it in a while, but they used to have it where you can get additional licenses at a reduced cost. I think you have to call Microsoft to get them though.

You can get additional licenses cheap from Microsoft, or you can go to a computer show and buy the corporate edition.

What type of CD do you have ?
OEM, Retail or Upgrade?

I have lots of XP Pro/Home licenses
