Hi everyone, I need a bit of help.
I want to install Windows XP on my iMac, as my younger brother needs to use some design software for school work, and my iMac is the only thing good enough to run it in the house.
Basically, how does XP work, in terms of the registration process?
Can I just use any XP disc, and then use the product key off my old computer, which is no longer in use?
If so, could anyone kindly send me a copy of XP, I'll cover the postage and media costs.
Thanks,
Arien.

you need a completely new product key
look on amazon, i think they have OEM disks for around £50

you can install it, you have 30 days afaik to register it
the key wont work on different hardware, even if you upgrade sometimes you will need a new key
you can see why i hate microsoft
