More info?)
If you have:
- a second license for the other system, sure.
- a retail version of WindowsXP and have removed it from the current system,
sure.
You can't do it if:
- you don't have a second license and want to install it on two systems
concurrently.
- you have an OEM version that came with the currently installed system.
- you bought an OEM full version and already activated it on the current
system.
In the case of the latter two, and OEM license is generally not transferable
to new hardware. You're stuck with whatever it was activated on.
