Thats correct, if you have a COA you dont need to buy a disc at all you can borrow one or even borrow a copy as youve got the license attached to the PC as a per seat licence if it were per session that would be different, if you do borrow a copy though you dont know whats on it, I have a copy of my XP pro and XP home just incase the originals get scratched.0 -
Coincidently, I have a brand new packard bell as well. I haven't burned off the recovery disk from this machine - can I use this for my old machine?
