I have several computers and built another to replace an older one.
I put XP Pro on it, from one of the other computers, to test out the new one.
Then installed programs and over my LAN I tranfered the data files, It's up and running fine.
Now I purched another copy of XP Pro for that computer. So it will be legal.
How do I install the new XP Pro without wiping out programs, data, and settings?
I tryed, seems like I had two choices Update and New Install. Update did not work, OS Serial # on new computer is the same as the old XP Pro program.
I did New Install once before, different computer, and it wiped everthing out. PAIN!
Not really sure on all this. Any help would be great.
