Solve : Upgrading Windows? |
|
Answer» I have an old computer upstairs in the children's room running Windows 98 and a newer one downstairs running XP. We need a newer version of Windows upstairs in order to RUN certain software. Is it possible to simply use the discs from the new computer to LOAD Windows 98 upstairs?I would advise against it. The computer is most likely far too outdated to be able to run Windows XP. What are its specifications? I would also advise against using an original copy of Windows XP on more than one computer. Microsoft may block your product key when activating your copy. (Only applies to Internet Connections) Seriously??? I gave my XP disc from Dell to my friend, and he (i guess) made a copy of it....which didn't make me too happy... but he just chose the option not to register it.. can I get in trouble?YourFateIsSealed .......

Well , Your friend just copied your DISK ....he wouldnt be able to register it or even activate it unless he used a alternate means .......... If there is or was a problem it would be his . BTW , you didnt give him your product key code did you? dl65 Yeah...i gave him the code off of the side of the PC... I guess that was a big no-no... Nothing a baseball bat won't cure.I would use the win98 pc has a server......or wait a while for vista to come out.......xp will run on 64ram...but it will be slow......and you can use the winxp disk.....EULA......winxp is goiing out the door.....old /os....That would be ILLEGAL. But then I think that the Internet should be a free service providing that 100% of the content is acceptable. I would take the XP compatabiity test before you decide.
