Hi all, am new to this, but was wondering if I can install windows xp on an older computer (pentium 3) & has windows 98. I have a newer computer with xp on it. Can i use the recovery disks (i think thats the right name for them) that came with the newer one to install xp on the older one? Please answer in basic terms as im just starting out in this area. thanks
Legally, no you cant as you dont own a license to install it on any other machine other then the one it came with. I wouldn't recommend putting XP on a P3 anyway, as it will be a bit short on processing power. ~Rich
can put xp on p3 & even p2 as long as have the ram for it. the recovery disk is set for new computer & probably cause errors when installing on p3 computer
