I am running Vista Premium on an older box right now. That Vista license is
a full retail version which I installed. Performance is not where I want it
to be so I am going to buy a Dual Core from Dell. I don't want to
re-purchase Vista from Dell or elsewhere so I'm wondering if I can buy an XP
Home box, wipe that drive, reinstall Vista Premium and do so legally. I
won't use the old machine anymore after restoring the data to the new
machine.
Is there anything I need to do with Microsoft for the transfer or will the
new machine automatically overtake the other license?
Thanks,
Tom
