I just purchased Windows XP Pro from Ebay. I received the software and it says on the book that accompanied the CD, "For distribution only with a new PC". Can I legally install and use this? There is a Certificate of Authenticity and the CD has all the proper hologram, etc on it so it's a legitimate Windows disk. I don't want to end up with an improper install.

If it's a generic, unbranded version, then you can probably safely
use it. If it has a computer manufacturer's logo or other branding,
then it may only be used on the PC with which it was originally sold.
