OEM windows XP Professional

[Guest Shane]

I bought an OEM xp professional edition. I wish to know what the differences

between oem and the standard edition. My question is , I intend to upgrade my

computer specs. Will I run into problems reinstalling OEM xp windows on my

new upgraded set of computer? Thanks for any help

This is a Windows Server newsgroup. Best to post this question in a Windows

XP newsgroup.

Whilst both NeilH and Pegasus are right in saying its the wrong group for

the question (there are a number of microsoft xp groups), the answer to your

question is: yes - you will most likley run into problem reinstalling an OEM

version of xp. It should *install* okay, but you probably won't be able to

*activate* it because the hardware will be different.

One of the reasons why posters should select an appropriate newsgroup is

that all responses will be peer-reviewed. I don't know if your reply is

correct or not but it is unlikely to attract such reviews, because it is

obviously in the wrong group. Since the OP may not be able to activate his

installation, he may (or may not . . .) waste his time.
