I bought xp pro and the box says "for pc's without
windows, or pc's with windows 95 or earlier versions." I
have 98 on one computer and ME or the other. Question 1.
how should i put the xp on my computer? Question 2. Can i
load the xp on both computers or do i have to pay for
another copy or license fee to use it twice?

Hope you can help.

1. If you have a "retail full version", you may upgrade or perform
a "clean install". If you have an "OEM version", a "clean install"
will be your only option.

2. You need a new license (Product Key) for a second installation
on a different computer. Otherwise, Product Activation will fail.
