Hello:
Sorry, but I am kind of a newbie. Here is the story. I have a Dell desktop
with a corrupted version Win ME (OEM) installed. I am not sure how this
happened, but I have no other choice but to do a clean install.

Anyway, my son had a Dell laptop which he "blew up". This laptop had Win XP
(OEM) installed by Dell. Anyway, since that computer is no longer alive, can
I install the Win XP Pro on the desktop. Remember, that the computer that the
XP Pro was installed on is no longer in service.

It seems to me that, since I paid for the Win XP Pro, and am no longer using
that license, that I have the right to put the OS on another computer.
However, I do wish to be legal. Thanks.

If you try to use the OEM (Dell) product key that it came with, then either it won't activate at all, or it will activate, but that will be your one single allowed activation, and you would then probably be unable to use that product key on the OEM machine with which it was supplied and intended to be used. ...
