I bought Emachine PC that came with wxp home (ghost image). I will
upgrade hard drive, motherboard and videocard and reintall wxp home.
Since changes in hardware are large, Windows that came with Emachine on
CD's won't install. I have a standalone version of wxp home. Is it
legal to install standalone wxp home and use the serial number of
Emachine (on the label on the back side of the case) or do I have to
contact Microsoft to get new serial number? I tend to think I may
because I paid for the whole package,- software and hardware.
Otherwise, it would be a complete rip-off on the part of Microsoft.
