Relocation of store bought XP to regain an new APPLE help paralles desktop HP machine.

After many improvements, disks, memory, video and operating system (for XP), I am retired this old HP Pavilion 9800.  New machine is an iMac from Apple.  I bought 'Paralles' intending to install XP as an additional OS, so I can continue to use my old and comfortable programs.  Before starting I need some clarification Re: XP.  As I said, I bought stand-alone store, installed XP on the HP, activated and registered.  I still have the original packaging and "Product Key".  I understand that it can me installed on a single computer, and that's fine.  So, what is the best process to make this transition as painless as possible?

I don't know if it's possible, but I think I might just install XP with the original on the iMac first disk, and then after that all settings/configurations are complete and the transferred data I could find a procedure to turn off the HP and activate/register the iMac.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
