In short yes, when you have to activate windows choose by telephone run through the procedure then you'll be put through to a operator tell them you have updated your cpu and hdd, explain it's still the same chassis

If if update (ie build new ones) my computers at work, can I re-use the windows xp disks on the new computers if I destroy the old ones?
Thanks

Beware of some of the new PCs and laptops - the hardware is designed for Vista and there are (in some cases) NO XP drivers available.
I know of cases where Vista has been taken off new laptops, only to find that XP won't do its thing properly due to lack of drivers for that machine.
I did a laptop like this a week ago, and it took me 3 hours to find XP drivers that actually worked on it [and they weren't designated as being for this machine specifically].
Same here. Did a toshiba the other day. There was NO recovery disk supplied when purchased( only on partitions) the vista system restore corrupted, so smart me thought XP is the go until I tried to get drivers.
So now I got to try and get a vista recovery cd or I will just download a torrent like everyone else!
What happens if I press alt + F4?
You would be a life saver if you did.

Me three, bought one of the latest Asus laptops with Vista Home Premium (after boot probs and reformat to start again, losing data, I decided to go back to XP (minus i/e etc etc) and bought new hard drive to replace. Took me a day to get up and running via net and still do not get TV tuner working.
I have been around since the old Sinclairs..Z80 spectrum from fuzzy memory? Bat and Ball games etc.
Pse beware people .... M'crap are influencing large PC sellers. I think XP is supported to 2013 and I know what I must have to use for work etc (XP), until linux gets closer (which it is currently doing all the time)
Summary - don't by PC/laptop unless it can have XP as an alternative, which is still crap imho............. - don't know why I am smiling.........
Sorry mate...can't help you with that one.
It is a AMD cpu laptop.
Toshiba don't make many of those except to the mum's and dad's market.
Try harvey's if you are really stuck i will set it up for you by process of elimination with the other stuff i have here (which is quite afew models).
let me know.
Thanks z80.
I am just trying to get a video driver, I managed to get the rest.
