Question about OEM Serial

Quick Question,

Can I use a WinXP home serial from my parents defunct Compaq on their new computer or will it refuse because of a hardware change?

Thanks

In the US, this is true. You can transfer licenses as much as you like in many other countries, for example in the EU. I do not know about Australia.
