XP OEM version - move hard drive to a new system OK?
I am trying to gradually upgrade my system. Right now, I'm running Windows 98SE and have a small hard drive. I really don't have enough to purchase or assemble a full system right now, so thought I would do it in stages. I need a larger hard drive anyway and so thought about getting a new drive and installing an OEM version of XP on it.
Sooo.... with some of the things I've been reading about an OEM version, if I later get a new mobo & processor, or just move the drive to a new barebones kit, will that work or will XP complain and I'll be unable to get a new license. I've heard there could be problems with the OEM versions so wanted to get the scoop from those in the know. Thanks in advance!
