690793 2008-07-21 03:54:00 I have a few XP-Pro installation CDs from the multi-license I have for them, but will they repair a Compaq OE version of XP-Home?

I could install one of the Pro versions, but want to save them for when I really need them .

Belarc has revealed the actual license to me; it's not the same as the one on the case sticker .

Since it passes the WGA test, gets M$ upgrades and Hotfixes all the time, I can safely assume that it's a legal installation . Knowing the original owner makes me triply sure that it's all on the up-n-up too .

Doing something like a repair install - no it wont.
