My company has two HP XW6200, one with Windows 7 but single Xeon 3.2Ghz CPU and another with XP installed but two Xeon 3.2Ghz CPU.
I would like my Windows 7 system to have two cores, what is the easiest way for me to do this WITHOUT triggering Microsoft asking me to reactivate my license as I cannot find my volume license (it was lost by the old IT expert from my company. i.e. taking the CPU from XP pc and putting it into Windows 7 PC (I do not have any thermal paste, is this possible without it?) or to put all other components apart from the CPU and graphics card from the Windows 7 PC into the Windows XP PC?
