The problem here is that if you bought the OS for a Dell,then it is more than likely thatit is a restore copy which will not install on another system if not detected as the Dell system that it is registered with

The home edition being a OEM version will install with no problem because it will only need to be activated once and it's not restricted to the machine hardware.

To keep the current programs and configuration settings,you will need to do an upgrade by inserting the cd in drive and running setup.

You may want to check the web site Warez for info on getting around the activation process
