I have purchased a 2nd hand PC from a company and XP is installed on the PC -
All the stickers etc are on the PC cover.
Do I now have the rights to the licence? How do I get the registered users
name changed on the system and any thing else I need to be concerned about if
I update via MS check for updates?
I recommend with a used computer that you do a clean install of the OS. You don't want to inherit the operational problems or other nasties. For a legitimate sale of the XP license the sale has to include the XP installation media. If you didn't receive it contact that company. Otherwise it's not a legit transfer of the license.
