Ok. Some say this is legal some say it is not. What I would like to do is use
my same CD KEY from a Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade on a new computer I am
going to build. Can I do this? I want to also have it installed on the
machine I am currently using so I can use it as a mess around and play and
learn more about windows machine/and other OS's . That's Why I would like to
use the same KEY. Not only do I think it is fine to install on more than one
machine that you personally own inside the same house.

Click to expand...

Read your End User License Agreement.

Start button on the currently installed XP machine, RUN --> winver --> OK.
Click on the words "End-User License Agreement".

What does it say?

Probably something like:
"Installation and use. You may install, use, access, display and run one
copy of the Product on a single computer, such as a workstation, terminal or
other device ("Workstation Computer")."
 
No can do. You'll have to purchase a separate "full version" Windows XP
license for the second installation.
