Reselling systems with Windows?
Hello,
I want to sell a few used PCs. These are all from the same company/manufacturer. All have the original Windows COAs on them (some are 98, some are ME, some are 2000).
Now, I can use the same manufacturer's XP Home CD on all of these? I have some excess original XP cds. It installs without asking for a COA. This installation works fine in Windows update, and passes their "is this windows geniune" test (or whatever its called).
So, since it has a COA on it (not necessarily XP), is this OK to do? I get a feeling its not, just wanted some feedback on it.
If this is not good for XP, will it work for any other OS? If it is OK for 98, or ME, could I use burnt copies, since these versions are no longer available "retail"? The system will still have the matching COA to go along with the CD.
Thanks,
A
