Will a OEM satellite windows xp cd work on another pc?
my father received a company laptop. it was stolen from his car and he will be reciving a new machine he still has the toshiba satellite xp pro recovery disks. Could i use these to replace the xp home on my computer (an old blue gear laptop).
It might work, but if it does, the copy usually provides a pre-activated key. Since your laptop is not a toshiba, this key will be unavailable and you will need to supply your own. Also, the operating system will have toshiba- specific programs and utility managers. I would recommend that you stay with Windows XP home.
you can use it but you’ll need to provide a key which might no work.
Good luck
