Okay here it goes..... I was able to obtain a few computers from a company that is currently upgrading. The computers are made by Dell. I have a few people wanting to find a cheap way to buy a computer and they don't have that much money. So what I was planning to offer these people was to sell them these computers cheap. I'm going to have to replace the hard drives because of course the company took them out for security purposes. But here's my main question.....
I have OEM CD's of both XP Pro and XP Home. Since these computers all have license keys plastered on the side of they're cases. I was wondering if it was possible to Load XP Pro on these computers using my OEM disc's but using they're License key's. I don't see why it would be a problem considering that what usually comes with a store bought computers is an OEM copy of Windows.
So I thought I would run it past you guys to see if you knew. I also don't know if doing that would be illegal or not either? So any light that could be shed on this subject would be appreciated.
Just to make things perfectly clear though here's how it goes....
Got free decent computer's made by Dell.
Want to put copy's of windows on them with my OEM disc's
Using they're Windows License Key's.
I am not trying to use license key on any other computer's except the ones that originally came with those key's.
Thanks again
