my cousin is ordering parts from newegg to replace his old compaq. we were wondering how he could get windows onto his new computer and new hard drive without buying a copy of xp since he already has it. is there some way to transfer all his stuff to a new disk to use on the new system?
i recomended him puttin his old HD in the new system and gettin it to boot up and then when in windows, running the windows xp install from our school on it to get it goin, then copy the data to the new one, then put it back in the compaq and runnin system restore. long but i think it would work.
how do yall do it? our school only has windows upgrade, not full
