Hi, how can I transfer my license windows from the old to the new computer

I have a windows xp system recently that the hard drive has no operatre. If I bought a new system can I transfer license windows to my new system...

I'll be able to down load the updates...

It depends on the license.  If you have purchased a copy of Windows XP retail, then you should be able to transfer it to another machine.  If you have an OEM license, however, your license is married to your machine and it dies when your machine dies.  If you bought a brand such as Dell, HP or Toshiba computer, and it came with Windows XP installed, then it is likely an OEM license.

Note that the same install a retail version of Windows XP on a modern machine can not be easy.  The installation CD does not recognize a SATA hard drive, and to install a driver so that he will see the player will require that you have a floppy drive.  The alternative is to integrate driver into your installation disk.

If you plan to buy a new computer, I recommend you go with the new version of Windows that comes with it.

HTH,
