Solve : Buying used Notebook and have question about OS?

Answer»

I am buying a used Dell Latitude D610 NOTEBOOK with very little use.  It has Windows XP Home Edition on it.  It is registered to the previous owner and I am wondering if I need to purchase another copy of XP to put back on it and register it my self.   If I don't,  is there any consequence to it?  I will be installing other software I own and registering that stuff in my name.  It runs perfect now, but I am willing to do this to be legal and all.  ALSO, will XP recognize or go find all of the drivers for the touch pad, dvd-rom, wireless network card...etc.  ThanksProbably the best advice i can give you WOULD be to call one of MS's 800 #'s and ask them the specifics...
I'm sure it's a legal transaction but they would be best SERVED to let you know how to proceed before you spend any money you might not have to.

Good Luck and let us know.

patio.  Another thing you might want to do...if the computer is still under warranty...is to contact Dell to TRANSFER ownership.
