I was bequethed a PC and all its software by my father
who got a complete OEM new one.

Under "My Computer", under "Properties\General", I want
to change the "Resistered to:" information from him to me.

I have the OEM sticker on the case in additon to the PID
as displayed...

Do I need to "reinstall" Windows XP Pro to change this?
Will doing so waste the rest of the configuration?
 
Hi V
You don't need to reinstall Windows to change this, if you go to start > run
and then type regedit
Once the registry editor opens expand and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ and click on
CurrentVersion
To change the registered Owner or Organisation double click on them in the
right pane, set a new value and then click ok.
