Upgrade Windows XP pro to another

Hello Chelsea,

Your question is a bit confusing. You are saying that you want to upgrade your XP on the computer you are using to another, or am I getting you wrong.

All I know is that you can perform an upgrade of an operating system on the same computer that you are using, but if you have another computer that you need to have on it a version of an operating that is not XP, then you will need to perform an installation on that computer.

If you need to have say windows 7 on your other computer, then you will have to get windows 7 installation CD and then run it on that computer to install windows 7.

But if your question meant that you want to upgrade from XP to a higher version on the computer that you are using then you can just insert a windows 7 CD in the DVD ROM and then choose the option to upgrade.

The question is a bit unclear. Do you mean to say you want to transfer your Windows XP from one computer to another. There is a problem here. You need a cd key for installing windows XP.

It is illegal to use the cd key in another computer while already using a computer with that key unless the license you bought is for more than one user. Thus if Microsoft finds that you are using an invalid cd key it will cause your operating system to display annoying messages and it will limit in functionality, for example you want be able to update your Windows XP.

I am sorry Lee Hung for my confusing question. Oh, I thought we could upgrade other PC using other PC also. Well, you made it clear that there are different upgrades of Windows and that must be done by one PC.
