Moving a copy of Windows XP to another PC
I bought a used Compac PC with XP installed on it. Recently the motherboard went dead. I want to use the hard drive in a new PC without going out to buy another copy of XP. This should be legal as I own the copy on the hard drive. Can I simply boot up the new PC with the old hard drive?
