Here's my situation; I hope someone (an MVP, maybe) can give me or
direct me to the right answer.
One of my kids, at college, re-installed his OEM XP Pro with a friend's
copy. It's at SP2. It's now flagging as probably pirated.
I've got a legal, FPP, in the box, original issue XP Pro (no SP), that
once ran on my machine but has not been used for more than a year. (I
demo'd the machine, MB to recylcing center, drives to USB externals to
backup data, RAM to desk drawer.)
Can I use my XP to make his legal? If so, will it wipe out his
existing files? If not, any other information I need?
Thanks very much.
