Q: The subject says it all, but here it is in much more detail:
If I install an upgrade version of Win XP Home on my system (I have a retail CD of Win 98SE, which qualifies for the upgrade), is equal to one installation of a full retail version of the software license terms, or is it equivalent to an OEM install?
Specifically, I know that installing an OEM version that can prevent the migration of software to another machine, while the retail version you can do. I do not think I ever will migrate to a new machine, but if the upgrade version can I do, I might as well pay the small difference in price and that option open.
Best Answer: Well speaking for myself….I love rooting around my pc. As you can see from my name here I am a learner. I love to learn and there is nothing like the feeling I get when I have sorted something out for myself. I got a new computer a year ago but a few years before that I was given a broken pc. I didn't know how to turn it on never mind use it. I played around with it and read a bit about it and got it working. I found all the programmes and had a go and then I changed the display adapter, put in a modem and went on line……great fun. Whenever it broke I would fix it myself. No trouble with this new one but I manage to mess up the files now and again and usually manage to put it right again. I enjoy pc diy.

Re:Unless Im mistaken, theres no such thing as a XP Home OEM Upgrade, so then it stands to reason that if you have a XP Home Upgrade, it must be retail. Since its, the software can migrate. 95% chance of me being right here.
