Since I will be installing XP Professional on only one PC, I guess I
should be allowed to do the "transfer". But I doubt if Product
Activation will allow me to do it. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Assuming that your copy of XP Professional is a retail copy (not OEM) and
that it's a Full or Upgrade copy, there is no problem. Just do it. Worst
case, you will be prompted to activate by voice call to an 800 number. But
that's quick and easy.
