Can I Use My Copy of WinXP?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Six months ago I bought a PC (white box dealer). I bought OEM versions
of Windows XP Pro & Office with my machine. I've since moved out of
town (he's not easily accessible) and my Intel motherboard died a few
days ago. I know, it is still under warranty but I've been thinking of
switching to an ASUS board and an AMD 64 Dual Core processor. My
question is, given that my original machine came with the install CDs
and license serial numbers, can I install these copies of WinXP &
Office on the new machine configuration?

Another question, rather than having to reload everything from scratch,
could I install my "C" drive in the newly configured machine and would
Windows boot up and ask for and install the required drivers given the new
machine
configuration?

Thanks,

Don
