Subject: WinXP Home-Activation
Hello, I recently purchased Win XP Home, but have not installed it as yet.
I have not dealt with MS activation on any products as yet. I checked the
MS site and found some information, however I still had a couple of
questions which I wondered if someone could address for me. If I install
it and do not activate it right away, I understand I have 30 days. If I
am
not happy with it on my 5 year old computer (Asus, Amd 1.4, 256MB) and have
not activated it and then uninstall it can I still use it again in the
future on a new machine that I may build at a later date.without calling
for
an activation authorization. (2) If I do activate it by use of the
telephone method and obtain the 40 digit number they talk about, is this
number only good for one use on this one machine. I wondered if I reformat
the harddrive on the machine they say you will need to re-authorize the
activation, but I thought if I use the telephone method I would have the
necessary number. Would that be true?
One other question. In order to get the feel for XP, I wanted to install
it
to another logical drive while keeping my original OS which is WinME.
Please discuss the pros and cons of having WinME and WinXP on the same
machine. (Asus mb, AMD 1.4, 256MB)
Thank you very much,
Regards,
William Patton
