False.

The original Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to another computer.

The OEM Licence is for sale only to System Builders, Resellers, and Hardware Purchasers.
False.

All OEM software must be bundled with hardware
False.

The End User License Agreement (EULA) for OEM software, including Windows XP, states that the software is licensed as a single integrated product in connection with the hardware

when distributed to end users and distribution of OEM software to other end users is a violation of the license agreement issued by the manufacturer.
False.

Purchasers of these versions must agree not to violate the terms of such distribution policies and to accept all liability for compliance with end-user restrictions.
