Yes... however, they won't be able to use your activation code.
Windows XP requires an activation through Microsoft or else it won't work after a very short period. If a friend has a valid CD-Key, then he could use your XP cd with his cd-key and have no problems at all.
Now, a lot of factory installs (like dell, acer, etc) won't allow a Windows XP cd to work in a computer other than theirs. So if you have a new Dell CD then that CD will only work on a new Dell computer.

First, examine no rely if your CD is an entire reproduction or basically an improve reproduction. in case you have no longer have been given WinOS on the laptop now, you will no longer have the skill to apply an improve reproduction for a whole deploy. yet you are able to deploy Win95 first. 2d, you basically get maximum of installs (3 or 5) on WinXP till now Microsoft blocks you from activating yet another reproduction, so counting on what proportion cases you have put in / re-put in on your different laptop you would be able to or would possibly no longer have the skill to apply it. additionally, you're limited from downloading patches (although they have long previous to and fro on that one). Vista gets much greater restrictive by utilising utilising a hardware hash key to in certainty link the OS deploy to the laptop so as which you will no longer use it everywhere else. they preserve the main suitable to do all of this via fact technically you're no longer procuring from them the applying yet extremely a license to place in the applying on a single laptop. So the technologies is basically catching as much as the place the EULA (end person License settlement) has been for years.

the other pc can only use the OS for 30 days, then it will be prompted by windows activation code. when it doesn't accept the license key provided with the OS, then you have to purchase an activation code, or reinstall a new genuine OS; unless you know somebody who can provide you with a cracked version.
