I have bought a new computer and I want to install WindowsXP ( I have acquired an additional copy).
I am going to transfer my old (activated) computer to my grandsons as such, after uninstalling all software which I have acquired during quite a few years.
I have a backup (Norton Ghost) copy of my old computer's logical partitions which I would like to restore to my new computer, but this would be violating the EULA license (Product Activation works by validating that the software's product key, required as part of product installation, has not been used on more PCs than is allowed by the software's end user license agreement (EULA))
Is it possible to do the restore procedure and then install the new copy of the WindowsXP which I have acquired? I would not like to start from scratch and do the reinstalling of all my other software.
Any help and advice will be very appreciated.
There are probably several better ways of doing this. The easiest
and simplest would be to unload all of the data, information, etc.,
files from the old computer by making backups and an "insurance"
uncompressed copies. This frees up the original computer for the
grandsons and activation remains.
Forget Ghosting to the new computer because it would be far too
different from the original computer. Do clean installs of XP and
all other applications. Restore the data, information, etc., files
to the new computer. The results would probably be more satisfactory
and the time-effort involved may not be significantly more.
