I got a computer from someone that has a few programs and XP Pro installed. I got the programs with the computer, but the seller wanted to keep his XP Pro and so I purchased XP Pro for this computer.
The computer runs well and has no problems and I was wondering if I could put my disc in, boot the computer, run restore with this disk and end up with the computer intact with my xp installed instead of his.
I would rather do this than reformat and reinstall everything if possible. I could just leave it the way it is but I doubt it would be legal eventhough I purchased xp for this computer since the key code would not be correct and he will be installing his xp on another machine.
