second hand Pc and Windows OS licence...?
hi guys,
just a quick question, i purchased a 2nd hand Acer desktop PC, it has WinXP already installed on it but i wanted to do a clean install to start from scratch. the PC did not come with any sort of recovery or WinXP CD's but does have the genuine WinXP serial number sticker on the case.
what are my rights and chances of reinstalling WinXP as a clean install, using another WinXP CD but typing in the serial key from the sticker?
will i get in some kind of trouble? will the installation be succesful or does the serial key only work with the CD that was originally installed with?
have a good day,
Marcin
