Motherboard & CPU upgrade

TheEngineer · 19 Jan 2007 at 10:55

Hello all,

First time post here, so here goes...

As title says, about to upgrade from P4 & MSI motherboard to ASRock VSTA & E6300 cpu, every other component staying the same.

So here is my question - I currently have windows XP Pro installed as an upgrade fron an NT4 Full licence version. How will XP handle the change of mobo & processor with respect to the licence registration? I assuming that I have a full retail licence? and I'm allowed to move the insatllation.

Thanks for any help.

If you have the full retail lisence and not just the OEM then you are allowed as many upgrade/installations as you like

Don't think you can get OEM upgrade disks can you?.....

I have an upgrade version myself, full retail..... it'll work just fine, just might require phone activation...

Yes, it's not the OEM version, for sure.
