I have an old Dell (dimension 4700) that I bought years ago with XP Pro pre-installed. Now that the Dimension has died, I bought a new computer without an OS. Is there anything saying that I cannot use the product key from the Dimension’s XP Pro install (which is labeled on a sticker on the tower) on my new computer?
It seems like if I should have the right to use a product key in this way because I paid for the license in the first place, but I am not sure. I’m sure that you have the right to do so if you purchase the Windows XP software separately, but can you do the same thing if the software or OS is pre-installed on the computer?
Can anyone tell me for sure?
Thanks,
Paul
