is a 64 bit. i was wondering my mom has a copy of windows xp home
that she is not using( it is legit and it is not on a pc at the
moment) i was wondering if i had to put another version of windows
xp home (being my moms) or could i just leave the version that is
on the pc already on there and have the pc work fine and if i had
to put on another copy (being my moms) would i loose all my files
because some of he stuff on there is not replacable and i dont have
any backups of it at the moment. can oyu please help me asap. thank
you very much
If all you is doing is replacing the motherboard - you *should* be able to
perform a repair install with your copy of Windows XP.
The truth is, however - doing anything major like this means you should
freshen you periodic backups one last time before diving in - because it is
possible you will lose everything.
