257696 2004-08-02 23:27:00 Have recently purchased new computer with XP Home preinstalled. Is there any problem with installing XP Pro Upgrade which I have on my old computer? DB4ME (5967)
257697 2004-08-02 23:47:00 Probably OK, but you realise you cannot legally have the same copy loaded on 2 PC's?

It may fail to activate, and stop working. If it did activate (due to the long period since it was last activated) then you would be unable to re-activate it on the old PC.

The licence is for one copy, on one PC.

But if the old PC is scrapped, or the OS is removed its fine. You may need to ring Microsoft and explain if it fails to activate, and get a manual code.
