    Xp home is a single computer license your disc if already installed and activated on your own computer will not work on his Xp home will run on his computer but he will need to buy his own license

    it will work, you can install any version of windows onto nearly any computer, the only thing is it wont be legal to do so unless your friend buys his own copy of XP or gets on the phone to microsoft and purchases a product key
