XP usually allows replacing 3 parts but a motherboard is at least 4 parts

That means that a new CPU and motherboard is a new computer.



Totally untrue you just get it Validated from MS, I've changed my MOBO many
times..

But then again is the HP version a striped down version that only support HP
MoBo, I don't think so..


You could try Ubuntu if you are too cheap for a new XP license.
It is not verry compatible with games but a lot of free applications comes
preinstalled if you only need to browse the internet and do office stuff.

I installed a new motherboard and processor in my hp desktop. I can no longer
use the embedded version of xp home embedded on my hard drive due to HP not
recognizing my hardware. I paid for my version of xp when I bought my desktop
and need to get a copy of xp to use my coa with it.Is there a way to do this
without having to pay for a new version?
