RE: [PLUG] New Laptop Recommendations


Well,

I've used the install CD from another system I have to
restore to a different desktop, it installed just fine.
also used that same one to restore XP to a DELL laptop
and it worked fine (except it didn't load all that DELL
crap).

In each of those cases, however, I used the License that
was for each of the respective computers. You might have
a Microsoft issue if you re-install on another system,
the activation key might not work...

Question about the XP that came with the laptop: Does it only install on
your laptop?  Or, if you are not running it on the laptop, could you
install it on a PC?
