atw: Re: Upgrading computers

Donald

 

I do need to use both computers simultaneously.  One to work on with XP and
2007, and one to get screen captures of Vista from.

 

I actually do have a pretty good idea what I intend to do, as long as our
venerable lord and master, Microsoft, will allow me.

 

So let me rephrase from problems to questions:

1                     Will Microsoft let me transfer my XP licence from one
machine to another and still run it legally with automatic upgrades etc?

2                     Will Microsoft let me run a single Office 2007 licence
legally on the two machines?

If you don't need to use the computers simultaneously, you could partition
the hard drive and set up a dual boot machine. I think Partition Magic will
allow you to partition your current machine and then you could  install
Vista on the second partition and not have the trouble of re-configuring
your existing machine.

 

BTW; This advice is of a general nature and you should seek the advice of a
professional...

Guys, basic question.

 

My old computer has XP and Office 2007 for which I own legal and registered
copies.

I am contemplating buying a new computer with much more grunt.

I need a copy of Vista but am not keen to work on Vista.  SO

I want to put XP and Office 2007 on my new computer. 

I want to put Vista and the same Office 2007 licence on my old computer.

There will never be more than one person working across the two computers.

 

Will Microsoft let me do some or all of this?

Is this where “keys” come in.
