Read the End User License Agreement (EULA) that came with the software. Some Microsoft products grant you two installations per license. It should specify that on the enclosed documentation. If it allows for two licenses, then you'll be fine; if it does not, then you'll get an error message when your computer connects to the Microsoft server and tries to register the second copy of the OS.
However, most computers that come with the OS software have it packaged as recovery software. Are you sure that it's a stand-alone copy of Windows XP? If not, it could try to install everything onto your desktop as it's configured for your laptop, including drivers and default settings, which could really wreak havoc.

No, it is not legal. You can install the OS, but you won't be able to register it, therefor it will stop working in 30 days.

no it is not. but if you want to, you may do so but make it sure that you won't install any updates or activate it. if you do, microsoft would recognize that and you won't be able to use your pc. it happened to me once.
