i need help in buying an os off ebay for a computer i am going to sell. as i am selling the machine i obviously want to spend as little money as possible but still want the os to be legal (dont want to be selling dodgy goods!). basically what i want to know is what do i need to have when purchasing an operating system in order for it to be legal?
for instance a lot of sellers are selling a used 'coa' that is now free (taken from a now broken machine etc). if i were to get a copy of a windows cd would it be ok to use this and the official coa or must i have an offical cd also? any help on this appreciated and the operating system will most likely be win9x if that helps
