Hi,
I've been thinking about building a computer, and really didn't want to have to buy Windows and all. My current laptop came with the actual Windows XP disc - with the holographic top and OEM labeling. I was told that computer manufacturer recovery discs usually don't work, but would this one, being that I have the key and all? I also have the OEM Office XP discs, too, with the same "official" hologram top and the key. Wouldn't these be the same as purchasing the same OEM software?
Thanks for your advice.
