Its my first time on this part of the forums so please bear with me.
I have a friend who is offering me an OEM Windows XP pro. Hes giving to me for a good price, but am told about a few issues regarding the software.He has told me that the software was originally for him but backed out and changed his mind regarding the OS. Trouble is he has registered the OS on his name already. I say OK i'll try to load it on my PC, register it on my name and let him know how it turns out.
Question i want to ask it is:
a. Can i still legally own the OS even though he has registered it on his name already??
b. Regarding the activation issue, granting he has activated it already, can i still legally own it??
c. Is there no way to transfer the OS ownership??
I can try to load it on my PC and find out then and there, but maybe you guys can help me out quickly and save me further aggravation.
Thanks in advance.
