Generally when most PCs are sold with operating system, if you disturb this and
put one of your own on it may invalidate part of the warrantee though it would
e possible technically. If you can get a PC sans operating system then you
could in theory install your Windows XP on this, even if it is an upgrade
provided you have the original Windows ME CD if it is an upgrade version then
XP can be installed on a clean drive.

Hi all,
Because my system is 6 years old now and is showing signs of fatigue in
spite of processor and mother board upgrade, I'm thinking of buying an
entirely new set-up.
As I live in France everything comes with French versions of Windows and MS
office installed.
I find it much more comfortable to use an English version. Could I uninstall
the French version of windows pre-installed on a new set-up and install my
own version, an upgrade of WIN ME? Do I then have to re-activate Windows? or
must I buy a brand new copy of the operating system?I have seen some pcs
sold without any OS installed, would one of those allow me to install my
own version of Windows?
As you see, am not sure about what is allowed by Microsoft and what is best
for smooth operation.
Please enlighten me.
All the best to one and all,
Marie
